a few different printmaking workshops. I have dusted, mopped, decluttered and even painted the floors! It feels fresh and ready for Spring. I will be offering an open session for independent projects on Wednesday mornings and evenings to start April 16 and run for four weeks. Also 2 monotype and chine collé workshops, both running on two Sunday afternoons.
For the month of June, Myles Calvert will be the resident artist in my studio. For three of those weeks, Myles will be hosting some etching workshops that you may be interested in. You should have a look at some of Myles artwork here on his website.
Please find all the details below and if you have any questions please contact Myles or myself. *(Myles at mylescalvert(at)gmail.com and myself at info(at)tammyratcliff.com)
Spring Printmaking Workshops
in my super sunny studio
Open studio, semi-independent sessions in printmaking
An open printmaking session on Wednesdays in my downtown studio to begin on April 16th.
These Wednesday sessions are an opportunity to work in a print studio with an etching or book press creating monotype, drypoint or relief prints. You are welcome to start new projects or bring previously etched and prepared plates for printing.
This is not a formal class but an opportunity to work on individual projects semi-independently. I will be present for support and any technical questions. Previous printmaking experience is preferred.
You will need to bring your own paper for printing but ink, newsprint, gloves, and a monoprint plate, etc. will all be supplied. If you are working on a specific plate you are welcome to bring this as well.
*Class size is a maximum of 5 people so there is plenty of opportunity to use the press.

Monotype/ Monoprint workshop with chine collé
This workshop is open to the beginner as well as the more experienced artist, with a focus on water based etching inks (Akua and Charbonnel) for monotype printmaking using the etching press. We will explore the many ways in which we can create a one-of-a-kind painterly print; additive and subtractive methods of applying ink to the plate surface, the use of brayers, brushes and stencils, chine collé, texture transferring, multiple plate printing and registration.Monotpe printmaking can be a very spontaneous and satisfying way to work and often inspires work in other mediums because of quick results and the variety of techniques used. Lots of wonderful papers and only the best of inks will be available for inspired experimentation.
*Class size is a maximum of 5 people so there is plenty of opportunity to use the press.
All materials, refreshments and a light lunch are included.
