SUMMARY:Collagraphs: A Creative Printmaking Experience
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is an exploratory voyage in the fascinating world of printmaking. In this workshop\, we will make our plates and learn printmaking\, using the big press. We will employ various method ranging from etching\, embossing\, collaging\, pochoir and mark making. Elements of design\, such as: composition\, textures and patterns are going to be presented and discussed. The emphasis of this workshop is on creative experimentation to enrich your artistic toolbox. All supplies are provided and included in the price of the workshop. You are advised to wear an apron or an old t-shirt\, put your phones on vibrate and have fun. \nWHEN: December 20 & 27\, 12 – 4PM \nWHERE: Myrtle Press inside Verge Center for the Arts \nAbout the Instructor \nBorn and raised in Italy\, Franca’s formal training is in psychology\, philosophy and teaching.

SUMMARY:Teen Drypoint Tetra Pak Printmaking Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this class\, we will explore a playful approach to dry-point printmaking using Tetra Pak as our printing plates. Tetra Pak is a recyclable material commonly found in broth\, pre mixed protein drinks as well as shelf stable products. This material is great for its price point and eco friendly way to create a print. Like other drypoint printing\, there is a limited run of prints you can get from each Tetra Pak. This is perfect for beginners as well as seasoned printmakers who want to try something new. Using drypoint needles\, students will gently create marks in the foil surface before inking\, wiping\, and running their plates through the press to create original prints. Each participant will be provided multiple Tetra Pak to create several prints they can take home. Please come with an image or simple design idea already in mind. Tetra Pak sizes may vary depending on the carton you choose — think single-serve protein drinks\, broth cartons\, and similar packaging. \nNote: Sharp tools will be used during this class. When registering your teen\, we ask that you discuss the importance of tool safety and the proper handling of sharp tools to help ensure a safe learning environment for all participants. \nWHEN: Monday Dec 21st \nTIME: 1-5pm \nWHERE: Myrtle Press inside Verge Center for the Arts \nAGE: Must be enrolled or High School age – Age 14-18 years old \nAbout the Instructor \nKelly’s printmaking practice is rooted in experimentation\, often blending layered surfaces\, organic forms\, and atmospheric compositions to create work that feels both deeply personal and universally symbolic. Drawn to the tactile nature of the process\, she embraces the imperfections and unexpected outcomes inherent in printmaking\, allowing each piece to evolve through multiple stages of carving\, inking\, pressing\, and reworking. Her work reflects an ongoing fascination with movement\, erosion\, memory\, and renewal\, all qualities that naturally emerge through the layered language of print.
