Summer Workshop Program 2023

Simonette Quamina Experiments with Relief Printmaking August 13 to August 19, 2023 Tuition: $800.00 Materials Fee: $75.00 Workshop: 9am - 12pm Discipline: Printmaking OPEN TO ALL On-site Housing NOT Available - Off-site Housing Options

Participants in this workshop will explore the multiple possibilities of working from a matrix and combining printmaking techniques to create layered multi-sensory images which challenge traditional notions of the “Print” and collage. Focusing on relief print techniques, we will cover methods in Collagraphy, Silk Aquatint, Frottage and other alternative printmaking methods. Challenges will occur as we experiment and use familiar materials in unconventional ways, but this will serve as a means to fostering new ideas.
