SUMMARY:Adding Hype to Cyanotype!
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop:\nAre you curious about cyanotype and wondering what you can do with this magical medium? \nIn this workshop you will not only learn the basics of preparing\, exposing and developing your own cyanotypes\, but how to take them several steps further through toning\, bleaching\, and multiple exposures. \nDuring the first day of the workshop\, you’ll prepare cyanotype solution before applying it to paper\, and then expose your imagery using both the sun and exposure unit equipment to create several of your own prints. \nThen\, using dye baths and registration strategies for multiple exposures\, you’ll move beyond the quintessential cyanotype blue to achieve rich browns\, reds\, yellows\, and even some colour combinations on the same print! \nParticipants will gain the know-how and confidence to continue their cyanotype journey both at home or in a studio environment. \nWhat you’ll learn: ​​​​\n\nAn overview of the process’s origins and how it works\nPreparing cyanotype solution\nApplying cyanotype solution to paper\nVarious exposure techniques using both photographic negatives and other materials for image-development\nDeveloping the exposed image\nToning exposed cyanotype images to produce different colours\nDouble exposures and considerations for image-registration\n\n\nAbout the instructor:\nTracy Wormsbecker (she/her) is an arts administrator and printmaker living in Mohkinstsis/Calgary. She earned her BFA in printmaking from the University of Calgary\, where she began experimenting with non-digital methods of printing and hasn’t stopped since. \nTracy wears many hats and spends her time maintaining a casual arts practice\, working as the Executive Director of A/P\, chasing after her two adorable children (and more recently\, a new puppy)\, and making artwork when she finds the time. \n\nWorkshop Fee\n$150.00* prices not subject to GST \n*Access to using the A/P studio equipment\, including as a workshop participant\, requires an A/P membership. Annual memberships are $30 and $10 for current students and current recipients of AISH. Membership fees can be applied directly to your workshop registration. \nAdditional Notes: \n\nClass limited to 8 Participants\nAdults 18+ Years Old\n\n\nCode of Conduct:\nTo support an environment which promotes dignity and respect to all\, no form of intimidation\, bullying or harassment will be tolerated. Should this type of behaviour occur\, the A/P host and/or instructor reserves the right to remove any individuals from the workshop. \nAccommodation & Diversity:\nPlease inform A/P of any accessibility barrier(s) that may prevent you from getting the full benefit of participating in this program. A/P will respond to any requests in a timely manner and will work to support you within our capacity. \nA/P is committed to diversity and equality to all in employment\, volunteerism and contractors irrespective of their gender\, race\, ethnic origin\, disability\, age\, nationality\, national origin\, sexuality\, religion or belief\, marital status and social class. \nCancellation Policy:\nIf you have registered for an in-studio class or workshop at A/P but are unable to attend\, we require that you notify us as soon as possible\, and no later than 7 days before the class or workshop to receive a full refund.

SUMMARY:Intro to Stone Lithography
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop:\nLet us demystify stone lithography! A process that is more than 200 years old and uses an image drawn on a limestone to make hundreds of prints! In this process\, an image is drawn using greasy materials. You can even use butter! The painterly marks achieved are unmatched to other techniques. Lucky for us\, Alberta Printmakers is one of the few places in the province that offers lithography stones and equipment for use!  \nThis course is suitable for all levels with no prior experience needed. Participants will learn how to prepare\, draw\, etch\, and print a litho stone to make a small edition.  \nWhat you’ll learn: ​​​​\n\nHow to prepare a grain\, level and prepare a litho stone\nDrawing techniques for lithography\nHow to etch a litho stone\nHow to prepare paper for registration\nHow to print a lithograph  properly using the press\n\n\nAbout the instructor:\nJamie-Lee Girodat completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Lethbridge and a Master of Fine Arts in Printmaking at the University of Alberta. Her interest in genetics and mental health informs her practice in print media\, drawing\, and animation. She has exhibited nationally and internationally and has taught at the University of Alberta\, Mount Allison University\, University of Calgary and is currently teaching at Alberta University of the Arts. \nInstagram: @piddlepress |  Website: www.jamieleegirodat.com \n\nWorkshop Fee\n$385.00* prices not subject to GST \n*Access to using the A/P studio equipment\, including as a workshop participant\, requires an A/P membership.
