Short Subject Workshop

 DIGITAL SKILLS FOR THE MIXED MEDIA ARTIST

Instructor: Dot Kuehn

Date: 3 Wednesdays in March, 13, 20, 27

Time: 10:00 – 1:00

Place: The Baird, South Orange NJ

We have all seen digital artwork created with programs such as Photoshop®. For the mixed media artist this work lacks texture and depth. In this class we take a different approach and let you use your artistic skills and mixed media materials in a digital environment.  Bring your favorite paints, pencils, artist papers and be ready to create unique surfaces for printing and learn new and fun ways to transfer images to your work. The key is to understand the compatibility of mixed media with digital printing.  Class is especially good for book artists,  printmakers, watercolorists or collage and fiber artists.  Materials list provided.

 MONOPRINTING: EXPLORING THE UNIQUE PRINT

Instructor: Debbie Livingston

Date: 3 Thursdays in April, 4, 11, 18

Time: 10:00 – 1:00

Place: The Print Studio at the Baird

Materials fee: $10

Monoprinting is a unique process in which you use a combination of painting and printmaking techniques to create your image. In this class you will develop your image on a plexi plate using water based printer's inks and explore exciting possibilities using  stencils, cut paper, and various tools and materials to create your image.  The image will be transferred from plate to paper using the Print Studios etching press.  The time between classes allows you to use the studio for one 3 hour printing session a week to further explore the techniques learned that week.

It is a fun process which delivers immediate results.

A materials list will be provided.
