Plexyglass printing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItHevnZ2B-M
make artwork like Rembrandt! Even if drawing is challenging for you, this printmaking class guarantees success. Drypoint printmaking uses plexiglass to imprint images. Because Plexiglass is clear artwork can be traced from sketchbooks, photographs, or other images. Using the dry point printmaking method, we will scratch into plexiglass to create an image. To make a print, the scratched plate is inked all over, then wiped off the surface leaving only ink in the scratched lines. The plate is then put through a press together with a sheet of paper, making a print. This process can be repeated many times to make several prints. Drypoint offers the ability to explore line quality and detail in drawing. You will leave with prints perfect for framing. Make a personal gift for someone or create a masterpiece for your own walls. Or sell your drypoint print to a museum for big bucks!

Friday February 13th 5:00-9:00 Confluence Art Center, Confluence PA

February Saturday the 21st.
11:00-4:00 Zen Clay Morgantown,WV $30
Lithography is a technique based on the chemical repulsion of oil and water. Traditionally limestone is used to draw on, Acid etches the stone. The stone is then wetted, inked and used to print onto paper. But, for this class, we will use aluminum foil in place of the stone and Coke in place of acid. Lithography is known for its ability to capture fine gradations in shading and small detail. Yes it sounds challenging but it's amazingly easy.... a piece of cake! so come along and explore another wonderful printmaking experience.

African Style Batik Fabric Printing and Dyeing

Back by popular demand.. When I went to Ghana I learned Batik printing and Dyeing from the ladies at Vegas fabric shop. With this process we will carve a simple design into a small piece of foam. We will dip the foam carving into wax then print wax onto our fabric. The wax works as a resist for the dyeing process. We will use hot water to clean the wax from the fabric leaving a beautiful batik design. Participants will create a cotton scarf as well as several other fabric pieces.
