Sunday 4pm to 7pm/ Monday 10 am to 4 pm/ Tuesday 10 am to 4 pm

Visiting artist and printmaker extraordinare Wendy Willis joins us for a spectacular 2.5 day workshop this June. Wendy will guide us through the multi-step process of her specialty, reductive relief printmaking.

Pre workshop activities…

Once registered, you will be invited to email Wendy 3 images you are considering for your edition. Wendy will review and in our pre-workshop Zoom session, she will introduce the process and help you select your image. Then, in preparation of the workshop, you will be asked to create the line drawing portion of the process, so the studio time can be devoted to carving and printing. *Zoom session date & time TBA

The workshop begins in person on Sunday in Nancy’s studio. Over wine and nibbles we will go over the timeline and see examples of finished reductive relief prints. During the session, we will work on defining the whites, blacks and middle value color and transfer the final image to the plate.

Monday begins with a fresh cup of coffee or tea as we begin to carve away the color we want to preserve. After a brief lunch break we will ink and print the plate, then repeat the process on Tuesday. VOILA! We will toast our accomplishments and your edition of 10 8” x 6” hand-pulled fine art prints! Just say OUI to printmaking!
