Note from your instructor: As this class is switching
into remote learning mode, there will be a few adjustments. We will focus on the type of printmaking you can do at home: monotype without press, reduction linocut and rinsed print. In addition to demos I will work with students individually to meet their needs
depending on their knowledge level and their ability to access supplies and equipment. One thing that will remain the same is my focus on mentoring students in order to develop their own body of work from concept to manifestation. In this time of fluid development
and uncertainty, I think it is important to be flexible and to find solutions outside the expected modes of operation. As an artist this is my natural inclination in normal times and I would like to extend this approach to our class. We will work on projects
that incorporate other media (such as drawing, painting, photography) into our creative process.
