CONCEPT: Venture into the exciting world of silkscreen
in an introductory course that encourages you to explore
the many ways to create these special images. Silkscreen
printing is a versatile medium that can be used not only
in fine art printing, but fashion design, graphic design,
installation, painting and more. Students design and
create the image of their choice, and we work together
to achieve printed results, from single color images to
complex multi-color prints using registration techniques.
Discover creative ways that this medium can best suit
your image making or how you can reinterpret your work
through silkscreen printmaking.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Students print with water-
based inks onto paper or fabric with screens that
have been coated in photo-emulsion. We process our
handmade films, and print using various editioning
experiments and monoprinting techniques.
ACTIVITIES: Through demonstrations and studio time,
we learn to coat and shoot screens, generate films,
separate and sequence colors, mix and apply transparent
colors, and printing techniques. During group discussions,
we explore several kinds of image production and discuss
the value of using manual methods in an age of digital
reproduction.
FACULTY: Brad Ewing has been a visiting instructor
for Pratt Institute’s Printmaking Department for the past
ten years. He is also co-director of Planthouse Gallery,
founded in 2013. Additionally, he prints and publishes for
Grenfell Press and Marginal Editions. Brad received his
M.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2004.

CONCEPT: Delve into the fascinating tradition of
Mokuhanga (water-based Japanese woodblock
printmaking) in which the linear details of the image
are created first and color plates are produced later. We
focus on Mokuhanga — a handmade, environmentally
friendly, do-it-at-home, scalable craft. We also get the
opportunity to use the press when printing drypoint
plates — an intaglio process where we draw on plexi
using a stylus. We find creative ways to merge the two
processes and create a complex, multilayered image.
Students compose, and then recompose printed images
into a narrative format, coming away from the course
with a new understanding of this ancient art.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Techniques include creating
linear detail with drypoint methods, working on a
printing press, hand printing color plates in the traditional
Mokuhanga style, and adding subtle surface detail and
contrast.
ACTIVITIES: We engage in daily demonstrations on
inking, plate wiping, carving and printing techniques, and
we invite one-on-one discussions about image making,
personal style and visual vocabulary.
FACULTY: Hiroki Morinoue began teaching
Mokuhanga at Anderson Ranch over 20 years ago. He
has traveled to Japan for an intensive artist-in-residence
program sponsored by the Mokuhanga Innovation
Laboratory and attended the 2nd International
Mokuhanga Conference 2014 and Satellite Program in
Tokyo.

“During my time at Anderson
Ranch, I received professional
development skills that
transcended beyond what any
academic institution could
have given me.”
