Printmaking: Beginning Exploratory (Ages 12+)

Printmaking is the process of transfer from matrix (created/manipulated surface) to printed surface. This open ended definition means that print encompasses so many methods and processes. In this class, we will run through 5 different methods of printmaking! Methods will be introduced early on and students will practice through “minis.” Then students will have opportunities to work on larger projects with methods they want to develop on. These methods can be built upon in our intermediate classes or give you the skills needed for independent studio use!

Methods include: Monotype (painterly), Relief (woodblock), Intaglio (Engraving), Screen Printing, Collagraph (Texture printing)

LOCATION:Visual Art Institute 2900 S 300 W, South Salt Lake, Utah

Please park on the NORTH side of the building and enter up the ramp to the front office. It is the really colorful side of the building.

INSTRUCTOR:This class is taught by Carlissa. Learn more about our instructors at https://www.visualartinstitute.org/art-faculty

DROP-INS:This class is NOT open for drop-in students. Projects take multiple weeks to complete.

OPEN STUDIO:

During the first week of class, we will discuss the times and rules of using the studio and equipment during non-class hours. This is only available to students currently registered in the class.

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
