Revolutionary Printmaking w/ Daniel Drenan Elawar on Wednesdays, 5:30-8:30PM from November 8 through December 18. This six-session class provides an overview of relief printmaking in terms of the political poster tradition, combining type with image, and one-color linoleum print work. The broadside or poster serves as an important historical printed record and archive of prevailing customs and culture, as well as resistance to dominant cultural norms. In this project, students will conduct photo and lettering research, design and carve linoleum blocks, and print a small run of a one-color poster.
Join us for Screen Printing Open Studios w/ Francesca Barr on Saturday Nov. 1 + Nov. 15 from 10:30AM-1:30PM! Open studios offer a space to develop a screenprint project in community with other organizers, artists, and cultural workers.
The open studio is a drop-in space for printmakers to bring their work at whatever stage and get feedback on where they are in their process. A printing station will also be set up and printmakers can do test prints as well as print runs. Some tools, ink, and linoleum will be available; printmakers will be expected to bring their own paper or fabric for printing.da
In this class, we will explore the basics of figure drawing from life, focusing on gesture, line, light and shade, measurement, and proportion. A prerequisite of basic drawing skills is highly recommended.
This short course offers an introduction to screenprint as both an artistic medium and revolutionary tool. Participants will gain exposure to every stage of the silkscreen process–from screen build to multi-color printing! This course is designed to prepare participants for TPF’s Screenprint Open Studios.
