Material Thinking: The Poetics of Process is a
ONE-DAY INTRODUCTION to the APROACHES TO PRINTMAKING METHODS presented by artist/printmaker Glen Skien.
Participants outcomes are guided by a combination of intuitive and experimental approaches to simple printmaking methods that incorporate collage, drawing and the photographic image. Designed around the artist’s personal studio practice participants will be instructed in a variety of print techniques including dry- point etching, monotypes, photographic transfer, and collage-based responses.
Methods relating to artists book editions will also be covered by the artist.
Using ephemera materials and the photographic image in combination with print-based methods, participants will be made aware that all materials are embedded with a range of associations that help form cultural, historical, or personal narratives.
