SUMMARY:Intro to Screen Printing
DESCRIPTION:It is back!! Finally! And in a bigger\, newer space! \nScreen printing (or silkscreen) is a printmaking technique where layers of ink are pulled through a mesh screen to create a wonderfully detailed image\, often with multiple layers of transparent ink interacting with one another. In this comprehensive workshop\, students will gain an understanding of the processes involved in creating a screen print on paper within a professional printmaking studio and will leave with the knowledge and experience required to produce work independently. \nThis course is suitable for all levels with no prior experience needed. \n\nWhat you’ll learn: ​​​​\n\nBoth analogue and digital methods of creating stencilsCoating a screen with emulsion\nBurning the screen on the exposure unit\nMixing ink\nRegistering multiple layers\nPulling prints\nCleaning/ reclaiming screens\n\n\nAbout the instructor:\nOriginally from Montreal Quebec\, Statz completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the Alberta College of Art + Design in 2000\, and received his Masters of Fine Arts degree in Print Media at Concordia University in 2008.

SUMMARY:Intro to Reduction Linocut
DESCRIPTION:This intro class to the reduction linocut technique will teach the basics of the process through the creation of a 3 layer reduction woodcut at the Alberta Printmakers studio over the course of four evening classes. \nThe reduction process is one way of introducing colour into the relief printing process without the necessity of having multiple blocks. Students will be instructed on ways of designing imagery for reduction printing\, useful approaches to the carving process\, the use of a registration jig\, and finally the setting of the press and printing.  \nParticipants should leave the workshop with a small edition of reduction prints designed and printed by themselves as well as a good foundation in the technique to allow them to continue with their own personal explorations. \nSome prior experience with relief printmaking (linocut or woodcut) is an advantage to taking this workshop but is not a necessity. \n  \nWhat you’ll learn: ​​​​\n\nWhat should be considered when designing an image for the reduction process\nHow to transfer the image to the block\nThe basics of carving linoleum\nHow to achieve accurate registration for multiple layers of colour\nThe printing process\n\n  \nAbout the instructor:\nJonathan Creese is a Trinidadian artist\, currently living\, working\, and studying in Calgary AB. Being introduced to art primarily from the realm of printmaking\, his work uses the language and sensibilities of printmaking to highlight the realities of the cultural and socio political landscape of his homeland. As of November 26th 2024 he is interested in ways of representing quantitative data visually\, particularly in relation to homicide statistics in Trinidad and Tobago. \nWebsite: https://www.thecreolefactory.org/ \nInstagram: the.creole.factory \n  \nWorkshop Fee\n$285.00* prices not subject to GST \n*Access to using the A/P studio equipment\, including as a workshop participant\, requires an A/P membership.
