Beauty of the Mark: Copperplate Etching- #6 OF A SIX WEEK CLASS EVERY WEDNESDAY EVENING
Belinda Casey wants to introduce one of her passions, the joy of copperplate etching. There is nothing else like a line that sits on top of the paper as a raised mark that the Intaglio process makes. This class covers the basics of line etching techniques, using liquid hard ground on copper plates. We explore the beautiful qualities of linear drawing, etching, and printing. This workshop is rich in demos and you have time to make your own image on copper.

The Inky Photographer (Direct to Plate Polymer Gravure)
THE INKY PHOTOGRAPHER - Direct to Plate Polymer Photogravure
Date: January 29 & 30
Times: 10:00 pm - 4:00 each day
Tuition: $300
Includes $50 materials fee for plates, ink, and paper
Instructor: Matthew Magruder
Learn how to use a non-toxic etching process that uses a photo-sensitive polymer plate, sunlight, or a UV light source and either digitally based or digital photographed images to create etchings. In this workshop, Matthew teaches a new form of etching called "Direct To Plate" which eliminates the use of transparency or photo positive in creating the polymer photogravures. Some know the type of etching plate he uses as the trade name “Solarplate." Participants do not need any previous printmaking experience. The class’s emphasis is on creating the polymer plate that can be printed as an etching in creative ways. One Monday night studio time is a bonus included with this workshop. This workshop is limited to seven people.
It would be helpful for Matthew will need to receive image files a week before class time. This class will fill quickly so register soon. You may call 512.477.9328 for more information.

Materialistic Monotype -
Materialistic Monotype - An intensive, fun way to make monotypes. February 27 - 28
Monotyping the Moment
Two action-packed days of learning how to create monotypes using experimental layering processes. This workshop is limited to a small group of four. We will comply with CDC regulations and require masks and keep socially distant during the workshop. The participants will concentrate on creating their compositions using 22 x 30 printmaking papers. Giffen is introducing a layering monotype process using a wide variety of methods and materials in this dynamic workshop. We will work with a non-toxic, water-soluble oil-based ink. Just come ready to experiment!
