Linocut
Instructor: Andrea Taylor
Tuesday evenings, March 2 - April 13, 2010

7-10 pm

All levels - 6 students maximum
Learn to make linocut prints. Instruction takes the student through planning to transferring an image to the block, carving and printing the image. Learn a simple two colour block printing method. Opportunity is also  available for intermediate and advanced students to work with reduction linocut and other advanced techniques. Everyone can carve, print and edition a plate!

Etching II

This course will give participants an opportunity to  further develop their etching skills with instruction, demonstrations, and studio time. We will focus on  tonal work using aquatint and students will be  introduced to colour printing using a variety of inking techniques. Suitable for students with a basic background or for those who wish to refresh their skills.

Photographic Etching
Instructor: Daemon Baldwin
Saturday mornings, June 5 + 12, 2010

10 am - 3 pm
Intermediate / Advanced - 10 students maximum
Learn to etch copper with Imagon/Riston using simple ‘home brewed’ methods. No longer will you feel the need for a darkroom, fancy exposure unit, or any other specific-use and expensive equipment. It all starts with your home computer and basic Photoshop usage, and quickly moves to the etching bath.
Note: Students must have basic computer skills.
