A-Z Pressure Printing!
Instructor: Adele Henderson
Date/Time: Thursday October 1st & 8th 2009(6-9 PM)
Cost: 2 days $60 ($48 members) + $10 materials fee
limited to 4 participants
Description: First participants will learn the versatile technique of pressure printing, where imagery is created from a low-relief collage attached to the tympan behind the printing paper. The resulting imprint is textural and atmospheric, something like a rubbing.
Next students will choose from WNYBAC’s collection of wood type and cuts to enhance their pressure prints. Spontaneous additive methods for creating imagery such as layering, purposeful mis-registration, stencils, and handwork will be introduced.
