Workshops at PMOF

One spot left in Atelier Intensive! Please share to get this whole budding workshop series off the ground! Richie Lasansky will share his grandfather and Hayter's atomatic drawing exercises in Engraving, July 18 and 29. Oh and now complete with a SW Hayter film on New Ways of Gravure! Workshops at Printmakers Open Forum: Continuing Education for the Working Artist Atelier Intensive: Shelley Thorstensen 6 days, Sat July 12 – Thurs July 17 $625 (plus $35 lab fee)  This is a true Atelier experience with the entire shop at the participant’s disposal. In advance of the class, each artist will work with Shelley to shape their individual study. Participants can choose to work separately or in combination with various techniques such as intaglio, relief woodcut and linocut, plate, stone and photo lithography or silkscreen. In addition, you are free to include ways to seamlessly incorporate color and printing, stencils, a la poupee, chine colle, viscosity, multiple plates, and relief. Shelley will work with you to explore, expand and deepen your practice. Have no fear; this class will help you suc-cessfully mobilize your vision. Shelley Thorstensen is the director of Printmakers Open Forum. Edward Sozanski writes, “One is particularly impressed with Thorstensen's mastery of media. Many prints involve multiple processes, including etching, mezzotint, lithography, relief, screenprinting, woodcut, and chine collé - just about every graphic process known. The ease with which she combines these processes and exploits their individual strengths gives her prints uncommon presence and, more often than not, transcendent beauty”. Her work can be seen at Dolan/Maxwell. Registration deadline for Atelier Intensive: July 1 / limit six participants / for more information email [email protected] http://www.printmakersopenforum.org/workshops

A biography of the life and work of Mauricio Lasansky, Professor Emeritus, Art & Art History.

Taken from Grafiekunst on twitter. I was complaining about burnishing and scraping earlier and then watched this.  "Slowly as you get older, you learn a lot of thing. One of them is to not to chicken out."
