This is one of a kind class where you will discover the mysterious world of printmaking, an art form that is almost lost and often misunderstood.  You will be exposed to the artist Sarka Buchl-Stephenson’s personal international print collection. Participants will learn the history behind printmaking and have hands-on experience in the process of relief and intaglio printing.  Some of the techniques that participants will learn include: drypoint, mono-based printing, lino-cut and Styrofoam printing.  You will have an incredible opportunity to visit the artist’ studio and try your hand at printing using a professional printing press. The final project involves creating a series of personalized cards that will be sold at the Varley Art Gallery Gift Shop.  A materials fee of $45 will be payable at time of registration.
