DESCRIPTION
Whether you’ve already taken a Drypoint or Collagraph class with us, or you’re new to printmaking, this workshop is your chance to expand skills and express creativity in fresh ways.
In this class we’ll explore various plate surfaces within the Intaglio process—Drypoint on plexiglass, and Collagraph on tetrapak and cardboard.
We will review how to use a steel scribe to produce a variety of tones, values, and marks, making the most of the subtle nature of drypoint. We’ll work on plexiglass, tetrapak, and cardboard. Feel free to bring your own reference material. Reference images will also be available in class.
This course offers hands-on experience with plates, papers, ink, and the etching press. Studio etiquette, protocols, and best practices will be introduced throughout. Participants will leave with a fundamental knowledge and appreciation of intaglio printmaking, and a small edition of 3-5 drypoint prints on fine paper.
All materials included.

Prelude to a Kiss at The Roxy

This play is a comedy, a romance, and a mystery with a bit of fantasy thrown in. Peter and Rita meet each other at a party in NYC and fall in love quite quickly and in short order decide to marry. A mysterious event at their wedding leaves the couple struggling to renew their intimacy in bizarrely altered circumstances. Audiences contemplate intellectual/philosophical questions when an old man suddenly occupies the bride’s body and leaves her within the confines of his old man body. The groom sees past the lovely shell of his wife and successfully searches out his real bride. The mystery is whether Peter will figure out how to switch the two souls back to their rightful bodies, or will he continue to live with and love the soul of his bride in an old man’s body.
Directed by: Kevin Haxell
Play by: Craig Lucas

January 30th – February 1st: 7:30pm
