PRINTMAKING

PRINTMAKING WITHOUT A PRESS T
This hands-on workshop will be an exploration of three printmaking techniques that can be created without a printing press. The first technique is called a monoprint, in which each print is a one-of-a-kind image. The workshop will move on to create multi-layered, multi-color prints using a monoprint background with a paper masking technique. The third technique involves an overlay print employing a paper stencil technique. Visual print references and technical demonstrations will accompany the print project process. Each student will learn to create exciting prints through simple means!

THE MEAL AS AN ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE*
If you are a "foodie," this is the workshop for you. We will share insights into the dining experience that reveal the artistry at its core. The chef is the artist, you are the audience, and the meal is both a performance and a work of art that nourishes the body, fosters joy and happiness, brings various cultures and geographies to life and conveys the chef's artistic identity. After taking this workshop you will look at dining out in a whole new light.
