~~~ Workshops ~~~
In response to popular demand, I will be hosting a variety workshops at new studio space at RedLine - hooray! Recycled books, monoprint, screenprint, woodcuts, come and learn it all!
Release your inner creativity, as I guide you through the printmaking process. Taught in simple, easy to understand terminology, you'll learn all my tips and tricks to make successful prints. My approach is a non-toxic, environmentally-friendly process geared toward the home studio environment. Whether you've taken a workshop with me before, or you're a first-timer, there's always something fun and new to learn and do.
Check back soon to see the schedule, times, dates, etc. Space for each workshop is extremely limited, so grab a friend and register today to secure your spot.

Learn a variety of techniques to print your own designs onto fabric. Each week will cover a different printing technique including stencils, relief printing and silkscreen. Gain a sampling of different experiences to figure out what works best for your ideas, images, and designs. Students will be working in small scale to master each technique quickly. Finished pieces could ultimately become artwork, mixed media collage, articles of clothing, accessories such as scarves, personalized pillowcases, kitchen towels, tote bags and curtains just to name a few.
Fridays in October 6, 13, 20, 27, from 1-4 pm
Art Students League of Denver
200 Grant St, Denver, CO

Screenprinting or silkscreen is one of the easiest, most versatile printing methods available. Geared towards the home studio, participants will enjoy this introduction into the vast potential of the hand-cut stencil-based technique. I encourage you to explore the range of creative and unique prints possible with this low-tech media.
Workshop fee includes all tools, paper, and materials. You are welcome to bring a t-shirt or something to print on as well.

Welcome to the timeless world of woodcut prints! You will learn the traditional technique to create a stunning graphic photo-based image with subtle woodgrain texture. Participants will produce multiple prints, with the possibility to trade and take home a mini portfolio of prints - bonus!

Learn how to turn your 'bad' art and hoarded scrap materials into something useful and unique! Participants will learn the process to create a unique recycled sketchbook, which includes how to format the book with interesting found and scrounged cover materials, re-purposed interior pages, and use of a sewing machine for the binding.
Book uses include: sketchbook, journal, idea book, class notebook, to do lists, daily thoughts, photo album, guest book, research book, and more!
Instructor will provide enough materials for participants to make as many books as they have time for. Students are encouraged to bring their own stash of random paper scraps, found materials, fabric scraps, etc.

Learn to create energetic and spontaneous full-color prints that combine various techniques; including stenciling, using brayers, color layering, transparency, and overlapping plate registration. Focus on variety and experimentation, develop unique imagery through a combination of multiple printing processes. Enhance further by applying other media techniques, creating a group of varied prints.
**** next date TBA ****
Play with your multiple artistic interests through the trace monotype print, a process that merges printmaking with drawing and photography. Bring in an array of several self-portrait images to use as a matrix in the creation of unique and interesting prints. Everyone will trade prints with fellow students, forming an exchange portfolio of your own artist community that extends beyond the workshop experience.
