Collagraph: actual textures adhered to a matrix and printed to create value, pattern and visual texture.
The Introduction to Collagraph printing workshop will explore the fundamental processes, materials, and methods of producing a potentially interesting collagraph plate. Students will build a plate using additive (collage) and reductive (scoring, abrading, gouging, etc.) methods. Plates will then be proofed and adjusted to produce desired outcomes, then printed as edition.Collagraphs are an exciting, cost-effective, and very ecologically minded manner of producing intaglio and relief prints as they have infinite aesthetic possibilities, are made from inexpensive, low-tech materials, and require no mordents and harsh chemicals to produce.

BEATA WEHR
Developing Content in an Artist’s Book Format
Friday, November 11 9-3
Saturday, November 12 9-3
Cost: $185
Location: U Of A Modular Classroom
4101 N. Campbell Avenue
Tucson, AZ 85719
In the workshop, we are going to work with images and text to develop the content. We will start with a short informal writing exercise, which will direct our thinking to the content of books and relation between form and content.
Everybody is asked to come with some ideas and significant materials: these could be photographs, drawings, paintings, small flat objects, letters, and fragments of prose, journals, or poems. We will discuss the ways to select and to combine those into a meaningful whole.
During the first day we are going to look at the artists' books samples and catalogs from recent international and national exhibitions. We will also talk about ideas of each participant, select materials, binding and structure. Then we will start designing books. Learn more about Beata at her website: http://beatawehr.com

There are many colorful stories about the earth’s invention, and in this class we will add to that mythology. We will create rivers, ponds lakes, streams and other bodies of water on our own invented landscapes, adding flora, fauna, and evidence of human life. Using lots of layering and texting techniques, flowers, pastures and birds may appear.
After painting our personal territory, we will deconstruct it, and bind the results into a case bound structure, with a shadow box built in to store some treasures from the journey.
The treasures can be paper constructions, jewelry, any repurposed thing that will fit with the subject and the space.
There are numerous technical skills covered: Covering boards, gluing secrets, making a case binding, box making and learning to fit diverse elements into a book structure.
The creative part comes in with the paste painting that becomes our landscape. Techniques include using salt, alcohol and other topical treatments to create texture, and composing abstract elements to simply create a composition of a large and luminous landscape. No experience with painting is necessary.
