Screen Print Acid Resist & Aquatint with Jonathan Barcan

printmaking WORKSHOP JUNE 22 & 23 11-5PM

“Innovative Intaglio: Bridging Digital Processes and Traditional Printmaking Technique”

In this workshop, discover how to incorporate digital imagery into traditional aluminum/copper intaglio etching processes. Students will learn how to expose text/illustration/photography to silkscreens, and then screen print water-based ink to the surface of their metal substrate. This will then  act as the plate’s acid resist during the completion of rich and darkly etched aquatint textures. The highlight of this workshop is its versatility. Artists can use this unique process to incorporate any artistic imagery that is made digitally. We  will provide all materials and guidance, ensuring that each attendee can fully engage with both digital and hand-drawn techniques. Ideal for artists looking to explore new mediums or expand their printmaking skills, this workshop offers a unique blend of modern and traditional methods, giving life to your artistic visions. Join us to push the boundaries of printmaking image making!

Registration for this workshop will begin in March.
