In this week-long art camp, students will explore the world of printmaking—learning how to transform their drawings into expressive prints. We’ll begin with some foundational drawing and design exercises before experimenting with hand-printed styrofoam plates to learn the basics of inking, composition, and creating texture. As the week progresses, students will dive into collage and mixed-media projects using their own misprints, magazine imagery, and found material to spark new creative ideas. Building on these skills, campers will explore linocut and reduction block printing with the chance to use portable presses to produce their own small edition of prints by the end of the week! Along the way, they’ll gain technical printmaking vocabulary like inking, registration, editioning, and reduction printing, while developing confidence, problem-solving skills, and an appreciation for the creative process in a new medium. By the end of the week, each student should go home with a new collection of prints to share.
