This workshop will cover a variety of hand made image making techniques such as pressure printing, collagraphs, and linocut.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThrough these techniques, you will explore color, transparency, shape, and layering of imagery to create a series of prints. This class will focus on a playful and spontaneous approach to letterpress, but the resulting prints can be used as the beginnings of an artist's book, a printed edition, or a series of unique prints, and next steps for these types of projects will be touched on as well. Anyone with an experimental spirit will love this class. Letterpress experience will be helpful but is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFun Fact: Image making on the letterpress is so special because while it is a tactile craft that’s made slowly, it can be reproduced infinitely and shared widely, while still maintaining that human-made feeling.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eRequired Materials:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePencil and eraser\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eX-acto knife with blades or snap off utility knife\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eRelief carving tools (optional)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTextured materials for making collagraphs - such as lace, dried or artificial leaves, yarn or string\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAny special papers you may want to print on\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll other materials will be provided by CBA at no additional charge to the students. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Elizabeth Castaldo\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/centerforbookarts.org\/people\/elizabeth-castaldo\"\u003eElizabeth Castaldo\u003c\/a\u003e is a New York based artist, printmaker, and bookbinder.
