Silk Aquatint at Castle Hill - Monday, August 1 - Friday, August 5, 2022

Open Studio: Mon - Thurs, 1pm - 4pm
5 sessions on campus

Create beautiful, tonal prints with this painterly printmaking method of making a plate. Learn to construct inexpensive plates of various sizes from plastic and monofilament mesh painted with black acrylic. Work your way back to white by layering polymer gels with brushes and textures. The plate will mirror and resemble your final image. Intaglio printing with non-toxic inks on rag papers yields dense, mezzotint-like surfaces which explore gesture, texture, and tonal effects. A wonderful print experience for all artists.

    This 5-day workshop was held in the brand new printmaking building at Edgewood Farm!

Dorothy's Print, was accepted for and will be Exhibited at the

8th Biennial Footprint International Exhibition at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking

Legion Paper, maker of Yupo, just published a review of Dorothy's technique of making printmaking plates (YUPO Plates) using Yupo on their blog.  Link to Legion Paper

Using a combination of innovative printmaking materials, participants will create plates with hot wax on Yupo, a synthetic paper support. Images can be painted, stamped, textured, incised, and scraped to produce a high and low plate surface ready to ink as either a relief or intaglio. These plates can be combined with monotype and drypoint, are economical, easily cleaned, stored, and cut with scissors or utility knives. Akua soy-based inks will be used on a variety of print papers including washi (Japanese paper). Both hand and press printing options will be explored as well as the use of multiple color plates, transparency, and chine colle'. Part of the learning experience will include discussions of eastern and western papers, demonstrations, finished examples of all techniques and lots of individual attention. All are welcome; some print experience is helpful, but not necessary.
