Spring 2027, Mondays, 6 – 8:30 pm 

3 sessions. January 25; February 1, 8

This 3-week course offers a flyover view of screenprinting in a studio setting. We will explore the different ways to use screenprinting for layered images and monotype. Participants will work with their own screens and use stencils as well as water soluble pastels to explore the different visual capabilities of the medium. Participants will also learn how to create a registration system to properly align different color layers. We’ll cover the different ways to approach the designing process of screen print and students will come away with a clear understanding of how to screen print and how they could carry these skills into an at-home screen printing practice.

This course is a useful launch spot for anyone who wants to sample screenprinting. “Carve and Construct,” a seven-week class running in March and April will supplement and build on the concepts and techniques introduced here.

Registration opens soon!

Spring 2027, Wednesdays, 6 – 9 pm 

7 sessions. March 17 – April 28

This all-levels course (including beginners) introduces relief printmaking as an accessible, adaptable medium that extends well beyond the traditional printshop and into the home studio. Students will learn core carving techniques alongside a range of printing methods, both with a press and by hand, so the work is accessible with modest tools and space. Emphasis will be placed on color construction, including registration, layering, and reduction approaches, building toward a body of multi-color prints. Throughout, the course situates relief printmaking within its long history as a medium built for multiplication and distribution — a technology for getting images and ideas into circulation and into other people’s hands.

Students will leave with a working knowledge of the medium’s technical range and a grounding in why printmaking has long served as a tool for sharing one’s work. Join the class and take home a portfolio of editioned relief prints, including at least one multi-color piece, along with the carved blocks and build the technical know-how to keep printing at home.

NOTE: Course requires purchase of Five Piece Power Grip Carving Set. Link to purchase supply on Amazon.

Summer 2027, Tuesdays, 6 – 9 pm 

7 sessions. June 8, 15, 22, 29; July 13, 20, 27

This class will allow students to experience the experimental and playful side of printmaking, through monotype / monoprint, stenciling, and stamping / relief carving. The class will invite the use of a printing press to create unique one-of-a-kind and repeated imagery with multi-color layering of different shapes, patterns, and textures, as well as hand printing methods that can be continued outside the classroom space. Students will work collaboratively through shared materials and matrices and end the course with a series of prints and usable stamps and stencils for future artworks. Focus will be put on the generative nature of printmaking and encourage the use of print as a fun and creative way to make. Upon the creation of a body of experimental prints, participants will take those prints and create a new form as either a collage or handmade artist book.
