Sunday Evening Letterpress
June 2 - July 21, 2013, 6:30-9:30pm
$250 APS members / $260 non-members / $285 become a member & register
Instructor: Jason Kofke

Letterpress is the traditional method of pressing inked words and images, cast in metal or polymer, or cut from wood, directly into paper. The letter forms leave their mark, adding a unique and sensuous texture to the page. In this class, you will learn the basics of letterpress printing – composing type, mixing ink, press set-up and printing on the Chandler & Price Platen and Vandercook presses. The class will start with a group project after which students will design and print their own small project such as a postcard, greeting card, business card, or broadside. The studio provides ink; students will supply their own paper or cards. No previous experience is necessary.
The class will be taught by Jason Kofke, a painter and printmaker with an M.F.A. in painting from Savannah College of Art and Design. His work addresses how culture comes to understand science and history through outdated media and moribund technologies. He has concentrated on intaglio, letterpress, photogravure, and book arts for the past three years. He has held a studio and exhibited in Savannah, New York City, and Atlanta.
Enrollment is limited to 6 students in order for everyone to have ample time using the presses. This class fills up quickly so mail your registration/payment early in order to hold your place.



Alternative Lithography Class
Mondays, June 3 - July 22, 2013, 6:30-9:30pm
$250 APS members / $260 non-members / $285 become a member & register
Instructor: Joe Tsambiras

Learn two printmaking processes that use gum arabic to print hand drawn and photocopied/laserprint images onto fine art papers. These techniques work well using original artwork as well as found images as source material. Photographic images can also be printed beautifully using this form of printmaking. Throughout the course, we will also be exploring various techniques from printing multi-color images to incorporating chine colle. Emphasis will be put on mastering these techniques as well as focusing on specific goals that individual students set out to accomplish. Students will be encouraged to experiment and create original prints throughout the class.
Joe Tsambiras has an MFA from Georgia State University's Ernest G. Welch School of Art and Design and exhibits his prints nationally. He is an avid printmaker who currently specializes in alternative lithography techniques and etchings.

In this course students will learn the basics of screenprinting. The instructor will demonstrate and guide students in preparing hand drawn art and digitally printed art for photosensitive emulsion; creating stencils; preparing and exposing screens, and setting up to print both single color and multi-colors projects. Students will also be given the opportunity to explore printing editions and creating monoprints. This is a project-based course and you will be able to apply these techniques in your projects.
Most supplies are included, but students are required to provide paper and ink. Beginners are welcome, as well as those with experience. This class is limited to a maximum of 7 people to ensure that each student has ample one-on-one time with the instructor.
