PRINTMAKING WITH RICHARD TETRAULT
REDUCTION WOODCUT, APRIL 22ND AND APRIL 29TH 2023
10-4 pm
GEORGIA ART STUDIOS
884 East Georgia St. Vancouver
Learn the beauty of relief printmaking! Working in my studio in Strathcona, these two Saturday workshops will give you all the basics needed to create your own color prints. The course includes familiarizing with tools, sharpening, papers, inks, color-mixing and registration. It is designed for all levels of experience, from beginners to advanced.
Incorporating a range of chisels and other tools, we will explore the broad range of effects possible in woodblock printing. Participants will create their prints using the reduction process; starting from a concept drawn onto a woodblock, sequences of colors are printed by cutting away the relief surface. During this workshop, you will develop your design, translate it to the block, carve, ink and print an edition.
Participants are asked to bring to the first class a sketch as a rough idea for their print. All related materials, including carving tools, inks and papers, are provided.
Cost is $300 plus GST= $315. This includes all printing materials and refreshments.
I am a Vancouver printmaker, painter and muralist. I have exhibited my prints locally and internationally and have taught woodcut printing for more than twenty years. My popular classes engage participants in the beauty and possibilities of woodcut printing. My studio is located in Strathcona, East Vancouver.
