Saturdays, May 10 & May 17, 10:00 - 2:00
Jim Falck

Experience two fun days of large scale drawing and painting with Jim Falck. This workshop encourages you to break out of minimal thinking and explore beyond your ordinary patterns of expression. Students respond with line, shape, color, and texture to create abstract and representational images in a playful environment of colorful still life objects, upbeat music, and a model (2^nd Sat). Surprise, whimsy, happy accident, freedom and beauty happen when you let yourself draw from the “wild” side of your brain! Supplies are included; students are welcome to bring their favorite materials if they choose. Open to all!

WK271N Letterpress I 2 sessions
Sat & Sun,May 17 & May 18, 10 AM to 4 PM
Sarah Smith

You’ve taken Introduction to Letterpress Printing, through Montserrat’s Continuing Education Program. So now that you know the fundamentals of hand typesetting and letterpress printing, you want to work more with the shop’s equipment and make more great stuff. This course is designed to help you do just that. We will spend the weekend setting lead and wood type by hand, designing with printer’s cuts, working with the Vandercook proof press and Chandler & Price and Golding platen presses. The guidance for more complicated projects than you attempted in the introductory class will be available, and working with others interested in letterpress will be inspiring. Paper and ideas are up to you. We’ll talk more about setting up a letterpress shop and we’ll go over how to maintain and fix these presses and where to get them. We’ll also talk about all the nuts and bolts you would need to set up a shop and get it running.
