2025 Summer Workshop Program

Sara Stern & Vicky Tomayko performing print/printing performance July 27 to August 1, 2025 Time 9 am - 12 pm Discipline: Printmaking Materials Fee: $75.00 Open To All On-site Housing NOT Available - Off-site Housing Options

Tracing histories of embodied printmaking and experimental performance, this hybrid print and performance workshop begins in the print shop, where we’ll each make a series of monotypes. We’ll consider the process of monotype itself as a dance between printmaker and press, from the turning of the wheel to the movement of the paper from water basin to plate to drying rack, to the improvisational choreography of sharing the printshop. In the second half of the week, we’ll develop short performances incorporating our monotypes as scores, props, and/or costume elements. Expect to play and expand the boundaries of printmaking and performance.
