Workshop + Presentation: RE:PRINT

Instructors: Ryan Shelley and Elizabeth Herrmann (ras+e)

RE:PRINT is a one-day studio printmaking workshop. The workshop focuses on alternative print methods and specifically, printing with cardboard forms. Emphasis is placed on encouraging the use of common and found materials in a post-print design world, the idea of presentness, and why physicality is important in a landscape of assumed pixel noise. We will discuss the evolving role of print and physical means in relation to Designers as Artists.

Perfect for students interested in generating a small edition of prints or a few custom T-shirts (or other textiles). The RE:PRINT workshop provides the opportunity to create a portfolio piece for anyone interested in a more personal approach to screen-printing. Attendees will need to provide their own shirts or other textile items to print on if desired.  Ink, paper, and other supplies will be available for use.  Workshop fee $40 per person.
