Eileen Wagner

July 1 - 5
Monday-Friday
9am-12pm
5 Sessions
Pamet Crossing
$395

Students begin this class by investigating the landscape, "taking visual notes," using a combination of drawing, painting and/or photography.  Concepts such as movement and balance in composition, properties of color and light, visual texture, and atmospheric perspective will be discussed.  After working two days outside in nature, students will bring their ideas into the print studio to develop them into a series of monotypes.  Monoprinting is an immediate and spontaneous process, which combines aspects of drawing, painting, printmaking and collage in a single medium.  Many techniques will be demonstrated, and students will be encouraged to experiment.  They will begin printing using the landscape imagery they encountered while outside.  Through the discovery of a variety of creative processes inherent in monotype, they will then develop new imagery altogether.  Group and individual critiques of work in progress will aid students in learning techniques and developing their own visual vocabulary.  This intensive workshop is suitable for both the beginner as well as the advanced art student.

Eileen Wagner is an art educator, painter and printmaker, who has been working both abstractly and directly from the landscape for a number of years. She travels widely to seek in nature new shapes, forms, color and atmosphere. She has attended artist residencies in many places including California, Massachusetts, Vermont, Ireland, Austria and Italy.  She has a BFA in Painting and an MSAE (Masters of Science of Art Education) from Massachusetts College of Art and Design.   She has exhibited widely in the New England area, and is represented by Rice/Polak Gallery in Provincetown, MA. www.eileenwagner.com

Monoprints on Plaster-Daniel Haymen
July 22-26
Monday-Friday
9am-12pm

$395

 

Half way between fresco painting and mono-printing lies the fun, experimental technique of making mono prints on plaster. Artists will paint images on Plexiglas and then cast those images into fresh plaster. It's exciting, it’s unnerving, and it’s experimental. Students will start by making a few mono-chromatic images and learning to mix and cast the plaster. As the week advances, students will be encouraged to make more complicated multi-color images. This class requires no previous experience, but does require a sense of experimentation and adventure! Come and join the fun in this brand new offering at Castle Hill.

Daniel Heyman is a painter and printmaker. His work has been widely exhibited including at The Baltimore Museum of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and the New York Public Library.

Encaustic Collagraph-Dorothy Cochran
August 5-8, 2012  
Monday-Thursday
9am-1pm

$395

Encaustic collagraph is a painterly process using hot wax and brushes to create a printing surface on a plastic substrate revealing brushstroke and gesture in a very direct way.  Incising, layering, scraping and removal of the wax surface can further work the plates. Traditional inking is accomplished with Akua waterbase inks, resulting in variable or edition prints.  Explorations of multiple plate printing, chine colle applications and monotype additions add to the possibilities.  This process is a unique way for artists to bring wax into their printmaking practice.

Dorothy Cochran has an MFA from Columbia University's School of the Arts, and exhibits her prints nationally. A two-time recipient of a NJ State Council on the Arts fellowship, she has taught at Columbia University, CUNY and is a faculty member at The Montclair Art Museum. She is a popular workshop teacher in printmaking and artist books, acknowledged for her expertise and broad command of multiple print methods. Her work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., The Georgia Museum of Fine Arts , the New York Public Library and represented in both corporate and private collections. Recent exhibitions include the Center for Contemporary Printmaking, Norwalk, CT, the Art Museum of Southwest University in Minnesota, Franklin54 Gallery in New York City and The George Segal Gallery at Montclair State University. In June of 2013 she will be a presenter at the International Encaustic Conference in Provincetown, MA. For further information, see www.dorothycochran.com .

Print Projects-Anne Gilman
July 29-August 2
Monday-Friday
9am-12pm

$395

Printmaking offers an opportunity to have an image created and then re-worked and printed as a variation.  Picasso made many prints by changing and redrawing on his plates to make new images.  Each different "state" became its own finished image.  In this class you will learn how to use etching to create many related images and explore variations on a theme. You will end up with a suite of related prints!  (The instructor will give you several themes to choose from or you can choose your own.) This class is suitable for students at any level of experience from beginner to advanced.  Techniques will include line etching, open bite, soft ground, dry point, chine colle, and experimental techniques with litho crayon and wash.

Anne Gilman is a Brooklyn-based artist who does large installation drawings and artist book projects.  Her work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in Latin America, Europe and the United States including Mexico, Havana, Berlin, Paris, Chicago and New York.  Publications include Gilman’s artist book, Bordes deshilachados/Frayed Edges, released by Ediciones Vigia, in Matanzas, Cuba, and the zines Nishtugadacht, Contra el mal de ojo and Don’t Lose Heart.  Her work is in public and private collections in London, Spain, Australia, Cuba, Mexico, and the United States and she has been the subject of interviews on Cuban national television during a solo exhibition in Havana.  A survey of her work from the last ten years, Observations, errors, and corrections, was held this past fall at Mansfield University.  She will be an upcoming, featured artist at the Center For Book Arts with her project The Jolly Balance in April and her next solo show, Paper Line Edit opens March 3rd at University of the Arts in Philadelphia.  Anne was a recipient of a 2010 Fellowship from the Edward Albee Foundation and she was awarded a MacDowell Fellowship for December 2011 – January 2012.

Drypoint and Other Non-Acid Etching Techniques-Sigrid Trumpy
August 19-23
Monday-Friday
9am-12pm

$395

A very direct form of intaglio, drypoint does not require the use of acid and involves drawing directly into a plate to create a dark rich line. Plexiglass or copper plates will be used. The class will take you through the basics of drawing with various traditional and non-traditional etching tools, inking plates for different effects, soaking paper and using the etching press. Other non-acid techniques covered (as time allows) may include mezzotint, chine colle and use of Dremel tools.  Experimentation will be encouraged! Come with a drawing and leave with the start of a small, unique edition.

Sigrid Trumpy is a painter and printmaker who worked as a print curator for 20+ years and is currently Director of Exhibits and Visual Arts at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts where she has been instrumental in setting up a non-toxic etching workshop.

Reduction Woodcut on a Letterpress-Justin Sanz
August 26-30
Mon-Fri
9-12pm

$395

In this class you will learn basic woodcut skills, as well as how to create multi-color prints with a single woodblock printed on a Letterpress. By breaking down each color into a separate printing, the reductive process allows the artist to gain a better grasp of utilizing positive and negative space, as well as highlights, tones, and shadows to create graphic works. The Letterpress allows for ease of speed and precision during printing that eclipses many other hand printed methods. This course will teach you how to utilize hand carved wood to generate images with volume and depth, proper carving techniques, registration, and printing with the letterpress. All levels welcome.

Justin Sanz is a Brooklyn-based artist and collaborative printer who exhibits locally and internationally. His work is in the collections of the Library of Congress and New York Public Library. Sanz also works as a studio technician for artist Malcolm Morley, and as a workshop technician and educator at the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop and The Lower Eastside Printshop.
