Print(ed) Word

Calgary Central Library 800 3rd Street SE, Calgary

Print(ed) Word is a collection of artist books that were created through pairing 12 local writers with 12 local print-artists who collaborated in reimagining existing texts into hand-made book forms. 

This project was led by A/P and Loft 112 with funding support from Canada Council for the Arts. The permanent installation in Calgary's Central Library was made possible through the support of Calgary Public Library, Calgary Public Library Foundation, and the J K L MacLachlan Family Foundation.

Painterly Printmaking

A/P Studio 4025 4th Street SE, Calgary

DATES: February 2 and 9, 2025
TIME: 10am - 4pm (each day)
INSTRUCTOR: Christina Krentz

COURSE SUMMARY:
Monotypes are one of a kind prints that combine printing, painting, and drawing techniques with surprising and painterly results. In the course we will create monotypes with and without the press, using both additive and reductive techniques. 

This is a great workshop for beginners, intermediate, and experienced printmakers who want to loosen up and embrace painterly mark making. Students will leave with multiple unique prints, a full understanding of how to create their own monotype prints at home and in the studio, and the renewed energy to create.

This course is suitable for all levels with no prior experience needed.
