Imagery will start with a small, detailed line-oriented drawing that will be transferred onto a sheet of Plexiglas with engraving tools. After proofreading with the use of charcoal, the plate is ready to print using the intaglio print process, resulting in a beautiful, detailed print. Supplies will be provided.
In collaboration with the Colorado College Art Department, the Bemis School of Art is thrilled to launch the Bemis Community Printshop — a new space for creative exploration in Colorado Springs! Our goal is to foster a welcoming community where artists of all levels can access professional printmaking facilities and feel inspired to experiment and create. Begin your journey with one of our hands-on workshops — a prerequisite that opens the door to affordable open studio sessions, where you can keep exploring a variety of printmaking techniques at your own pace.
Level 0 – This class is for the true beginner with no prior experience in the medium.
