Kathy Puzey, Lean-to (detail)

CONCEPT:  Woodblock printing has been used by many cultures as an art form for over 2000 years. This very direct
reproductive process has played a key role in the evolution
of thought and communication. Students will be exposed to
several woodcut processes including, but not limited to: black
and white woodcuts, multi-block, jig-saw and color printing.
Stencil techniques and chine collé processes will also be covered. There will be demonstrations, slide presentations and
ample studio time plus a lot of interaction with the instructor
and fellow students. Participants will be encouraged to share
and discuss their progress.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Birch plywood, ink, carving tools,
presses and rice paper. Black and white woodcuts, multiblock, jig-saw, stencil work and color printing.
ACTIVITIES: Each day will begin with demonstrations and an
occasional slide presentation. Afternoons will be for studio
work time, including one-on-one time with the instructor.

Sergei Tsvetkov, Eclipse (detail)

CONCEPT:  This course will focus on the techniques of intaglio printing – from how to prepare a plate, to basic hard and
soft ground etching and aquatint. This workshop is geared
toward the beginner or those who haven’t done intaglio for
some time. Students will strengthen their technical skill level
and learn about image formation and content. The instructor
will discuss more advanced intaglio techniques; images and
prints will be shown, and students will learn about the important role intaglio plays in today’s printmaking world.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Plate preparation using zinc and/or copper, discussion of acids, hard and soft ground techniques and
aquatint. We will discuss the importance of good printmaking
paper and archival materials in printmaking. If time permits, the
class will include chine collé techniques.
ACTIVITIES: Morning demonstrations will be followed by afternoon and evening work sessions. There will be individual
one-on-one instruction as well as group discussion, a Power
Point presentation, as well as viewing prints.
SKILL LEVEL: Level I – See page 23 for skill level descriptions.
FACULTY: Sergei received his MFA in 1986 from the Krakow
Art Academy, Ukraine, and was master printer of intaglio at
the Senej Printmaking workshop in Moscow. He has taught
at the Cortona Study Abroad Program at the University of
Georgia, in Italy, Boston University, Rutgers University and
the Tyler School of Art. He has exhibited nationally and internationally and recently won the Grand Prize at the Edmonton
Print International, Canada.

Code: R0606  Enrollment Limit 11

CONCEPT:  This workshop reflects the evolution of contemporary print media—a blend of tradition and innovation.
Designed for interdisciplinary artists eager to investigate new
media, students will combine digital images with traditional
print processes to create a cohesive print. Demonstrations
will cover color management, printing profiles, digital printing
on alternative substrates/media, pre-and-post coat methods,
and layering digital prints with printmaking media. Professors,
students and practicing artists curious about how the digital
print can work in combination with traditional print methods
are all welcome. Students are encouraged to bring existing
printmaking plates to the class or to make new ones.

FACULTY:  Kathy Puzey is currently an assistant professor of
printmaking at Utah State University. She received her BFA
from Utah State University and her MFA from the U niversity
of Nebraska, Lincoln. Kathy also served as studio manager in
Printmaking at Anderson Ranch.

CONCEPT: This course is for students who already have some
intaglio experience and wish to hone their technical skills, as
well as for advanced students interested in learning techniques that will elevate their work technically and conceptually. The workshop will cover regular techniques such as hard

Koichi Yamamoto, Gaeru (detail)

CONCEPT:  This workshop will explore monotype processes
to enhance creative awareness. There will be an emphasis
on the ways the monotype plate can record physical gesture
and expression while creating the illusion of space. Paper
preparation, ink manipulation, press operation and curating
techniques will be covered. Sensory awareness is a miracle.
Our bodies are an unexpected gift and are also the means by
which each artist is able to create.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Oil-based ink monotype with Lexan
plates. A variety of mark-making methods will be explored.
Multiple layers of transparent composition will add history to
the process.
ACTIVITIES:  There will be demonstrations of reductive and
additive working methods, portfolio presentations, working
time and critical discussions.
SKILL LEVEL: Open to All – Any skill/knowledge level.
FACULTY: Koichi Yamamoto was born in Osaka, Japan, and he
studied in the US, Poland, Slovakia, Denmark and Canada. His
work is exhibited internationally. He has taught at Utah State
University and the University of Delaware, and is currently an
