Print Demo — Saturday, May 18 2:00 to 4:00 PM by Rosey & Barbara Rosenthal
Curious about the process of printmaking? Don't miss this rare opportunity to "Be Part of the Process" in this Printmaking Demonstration. Rosey and Barb will help you ink, wipe, and print an etching plate they have already drawn and etched. The printed paper etching will be yours to keep! We will provide gloves and an apron; you'll provide the muscle to turn the etching press. To sign up for a participation slot, please reserve your space by emailing contact@studiosonthepark.org. We can accommodate 3-4 participants per half hour slot, or you can watch and learn!

Gell Monotype Print Workshop — Saturday, June 1 by Joyce Bauerle; 12:30- 4:30 PM. Working with 8x10" gelli plates, using stencils, texture, natural materials and water-based inks, students will make a series of prints. By layering color with your own cut stencils and mark-making to create an interesting surface, you will explore the process of creating a monotype. Bring an apron, it is a messy process. $80 per person; all materials included; limit 6 people. Please consider that you may be standing for some time as you work. Email Joyce for more information.

This is the technique where an image is carved into a block of rubber, linoleum or wood. You will see finished examples of prints with their blocks and see a rubber block in progress. An inking station will be available to try your hand at printing a sample block. (Linocut by Lynn Evey)

Drypoint Demo — Saturday, June 22 by Lynn Evey; 12:30 to 2:30 PM. Drop-in. Free — This demo will introduce you to the printmaking process of Drypoint. In this technique, an image is incised or scratched with a sharp tool into a hard surface.
