There are still a few spaces remaining for those interested in participating in "Ceramics From the Potter’s Wheel," or "Printmaking without a Press" workshops at SHY RABBIT Contemporary Arts. All workshops are introductory, with no previous experience necessary.
Workshops schedules vary with courses running for 5 consecutive weeks or 2-day weekend sessions. Class sizes are kept small to provide individualized attention, and to allow participants to interact and work at a comfortable pace.
Printmaking without a Press I: May 10 & 11
This 2-day introductory printmaking workshop utilizes a unique hand-pressed printing process called "Reductive Ink"™, developed over the course of nearly 20 years by Professional Artist, D. Michael Coffee. No previous experience is necessary.
The workshop fee is $215 and includes all course materials. The workshop will be held Saturday and Sunday, May 10 and 11, 10:00am – 4:00pm both days, including a 1-hour lunch break.
Printmaking without a Press I is high in content, and uses inexpensive, low-tech materials that can be easily used in a home studio environment. This workshop is also designed for those with experience in printmaking and/or in additional mediums, that simply want to explore their creativity in an art friendly atmosphere.
Coffee's prints have been shown in over 70 solo and group print exhibitions, and are included in nearly 200 prestigious public and private collections throughout the world.
