Come play and experiment with low-relief printing on letterpress! Stratography, also known as pressure printing, is a hybrid blend of monotype and low-relief printmaking methods using letterpress printing equipment that results in softer edges than traditionally associated with printing. It’s a playful form of printmaking for traditional printmakers and letterpress printers looking for new mark making effects for their work. However, all artists are welcome! This technique lends itself equally well to both abstract and subjective image making.
All experience levels welcome. This class does not certify for Open Studio.
Ages 18+
All materials supplied.
Optional: Students are encouraged to bring low-relief objects such as lace, small feathers, or other similarly flat objects for experimental printing.
Registration: $105, includes all materials.
