OMAA Printmaking Workshop with Crystalle Lacouture at Chase's Garage

Join artist and printmaker Crystalle Lacouture for a one day workshop to learn general information about different printmaking techniques and how to identify prints. She will briefly describe intaglio (etching, engraving), lithography, silkscreen, and woodcut (relief printmaking) methods using reference materials and prints. Using examples of her recent woodblock prints, Lacouture will demonstrate the techniques in her own works of woodcut, jigsaw, and multiple block printmaking. Following this overview and demonstration, participants will create their own single color relief prints! We will learn how to transfer a drawing to a block (it must be reversed), simple carving techniques, ink and color mixing, and printing methods that include using the Chase’s Garage etching press as well as a table top etching press. Each class member will leave with at least one relief print of their own making.
