Beyond The Print: Revealed

Workshops

Stahl, Pacha, Paquet and Lee are as eager to share their new creations and discoveries as they are to produce them. “Beyond the Print Revealed” will not simply showcase their spellbinding series of works, but – as the title suggests – they will also be revealing the innovative processes that have made their finished products possible. Art, like fine wine, requires a bit of knowledge to be thoroughly appreciated, and these high-caliber artists understand that. The four of them have come together to blend the best of what they have to offer, like a Meritage of exquisite varietals that ultimately offers far more depth and complexity than you’d ever find in a single grape.

“Digital Mono Print: Revealed I”June 20th 2009

Digital Mono Print: Revealed is the first in a series of workshops on different print processes that were used to create some of the artwork exhibited at Corkstop Studios May art show. This workshop explores the use of traditional intaglio print making techniques using digital printing plates made with non-toxic ImagOn polymer film. Artwork can be created on a digital computer or through traditional art mediums on acetate film. The final print can be created on the intaglio press, or the artwork digitally scanned and printed on a high performance Epson printer. The class will explore creating a hybrid print using a combination of both printing methods.
