This three week workshop is brought to us by Preston Lawing, an award winning professor and collaborative printmaker who has worked and exhibited with numerous artists and printers for over forty years.
Preston Lawing taught for 24 years at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, retiring in 2021 as Professor Emeritus in the department of Art and Design. His most recent Dry Point Etching workshop at the Winona Arts Center was well received by a capacity group of energetic, creative students.
This workshop will introduce participants to the technique of Chine-Collé, a Chinese paper collage method that enhances printmaking or painting, adding texture and pattern to the surface.
The course will cover both the practical aspects of creating prints and the historical context of the medium.
Participants will learn how to prepare printing plates while working with a variety of glues and binders, the importance of layering and overlaying paper textures, how to use a variety of printing plates and matrices, work safely in a printmaking studio, and will develop an understanding of the significance of Chine-Collé in art history.
Participants do not need to have strong drawing skills, but a willingness to explore different markmaking choices which should provide lifelong joy of this simple, additive process.
Due to the technical information and processes covered, this course is suited for artists 18 and up. This is a class for adults.
Workshop Fee: $150. All materials are included.
