MIXED MEDIA PRINTMAKING at ABRAZOS PRESS Monday Evenings.. starting January 23
THE MIXED MEDIA PRINT: Woodcut, stencils, and pronto plates -Oh MY!
Participants can use relief techniques of woodcut and stencils in combination with polyester lithographic plates (pronto plates) to create multi-layered prints. Pronto plates can be used to create many different types of printable marks made by drawing with markers and ball point pens, or copying photographic imagery or text in laser copiers. Students can choose their emphasis and direction in pushing and pulling their prints in new ways. Pronto plates can be used with drawn,painted and photographic elements, as well as text. They can be multi-colored, and are a fascinating edition to printmaking, being “litho-lite” but very flat. Woodcut on the other hand lends surface dimension and has the possibilities of blind embossing, floating shapes and the satisfying activity of carving. BEGINNERS ARE VERY WELCOME
