Session one: Learn the history, terminology, and materials.
Session two: Put that knowledge to use, creating finished prints with guidance and supervision.
A class for beginners, both sections are limited to 10 Students.”

Dry Point 101 Printmaking with Dave Pruneda at the Seattle DANIEL SMITH Store

Dry Point 101 Printmaking with Dave Pruneda at the Seattle DANIEL SMITH Store

The past two Tuesdays have had a Printmaking 101 Workshop with Dry Point at the DANIEL SMITH Seattle Store with Dave Pruneda.  Throughout this year there will be beginning 101 Printmaking Workshops in a repeating cycle of Relief Printmaking, Collagraph, Dry Point,  and Screen Printing to introduce Printmaking to people who are curious to learn about the different processes. 

 
The Printmaking 101 Workshops are set up as two, 2 hour classes.  The first class is a lecture on “How to” and demonstration with the Press of the basic processes.  The students are provided, as part of the fee, with materials to take home with them after the first class to make images on the provided surfaces to be ready for the 2nd class.  Then the following week for the 2nd class, for example this weeks Dry Point Printmaking 101 Workshop, the students bring their completed plexiglass and copper plates to print their images on the provided paper with a press.
 
Later there will also be “Open Press Time” available for those who have taken these workshops to be able to print additional images.  Please be sure to visit the DANIEL SMITH “Upcoming Classes” and Seattle Workshops section of the website and check out the DANIEL SMITH Blog later to find out more regarding dates, times and more.
 
I was able to sit in on most of the 2nd workshop to watch Dave and his students ink up with DANIEL SMITH Etching Ink (Sepia) on their Plexiglass and Polished Copper Plates that they had made images on using their provided Edward C Lyon Intaglio tool kit.  The small class (limited to 10 students) of 4 students was very focused on inking their plates when I entered the room.  Dave gave lots of help and encouragement during the thoughtful inking process.  Then it was time to print using the Ettan Small Press, and the fun of seeing the images appear on the printmaking paper!   
 
This is a great series of Workshops to take if you are curious about Printmaking.  Take just one Workshop or several that catch your interest, I am very tempted to enroll in the next Dry Point Printmaking 101 Workshop in the Fall.  Remember, there will be Open Press Times to print more images for students who have taken the workshops!
 
Dave Pruneda will be at the Bellevue DANIEL SMITH Store this Sunday, May 24th, for a FREE Small Press Demo at 12 & 2pm.
 
Thank you Dave and Dry Point Workshop Students!
 
 
Every Day,  Express Yourself with ART….
