PRINTMAKING CLASSES at TDS
Summer 2008

click here for a printable REGISTRATION FORM

Registration at The Drawing Studio is on a first-come, first served basis. If a class is full, we will maintain a waiting list, and if space opens up, notify people in the order they are listed. We do not take reservations for classes to be offered in the following session. A registration is not complete until a financial transaction has taken place.

Waiting until the last minute to register is not advisable. If a class does not have at least 5 people registered in the 3 or 4 days preceding the first session, we usually cancel the class.

We open registration at 9 AM on the day we estimate the newsletter will be in people's mailboxes. We are making every effort to post the schedule on-line in advance of the beginning of registration for planning purposes.

Our Supply Lists are PDF (Portable Document Format) files. You need Adobe® Reader® to view these files. Most newer systems come with Reader installed, so all you have to do is double click on the Supply List link for the class you want and Reader® will open automatically. If your system doesn't have Reader® installed, it's a free download from Adobe®. Get it by clicking on the logo at right. After you install it, come back to this page and get/print the supply list(s) you want.

All Summer classes meet at 33 South 6th Avenue unless otherwise noted.



Monoprint and More

Taught by Midge and Jan Angevine
Two Saturday and Sundays, 9 AM – 4 PM
August 16, 17, 23, 24

This workshop will combine morning instruction in the basics of monoprinting (which involves “painting” on a plate with ink and transferring, via a press, the image to paper) for those new to the process, and open lab for those more experienced printers working in monoprint or in compatible combined techniques (intaglio, drypoint). Inks are oil-based, and require the use of solvents. Good ventilation, cooling, and protective gear provided. Inks, plates, breyers, press provided; paper available at cost.
Fee: $190 (Associates $170); either weekend, $120 (Associates $105); single day, $65 (Associates $55)

Playing with Multiples: Monoprint and Drypoint
Taught by Cristina Cardenas
Two Saturday and Sundays, 9 AM – 1 PM
June 21, 22, 28, 29

Working small (ca. 4 in. x 6 in. plates), you will experiment with combining two printmaking techniques—monoprint and drypoint—to create a series of related, yet individual, works. This is a terrific opportunity to deepen your understanding of a visual idea, taking it to places you never dreamed of! Basic tools, ink, press provided; metal plates and paper available at cost.
Fee: $125 (Associates $110)

from Andrew Rush: “With roots in the distinguished Mexican tradition of Rivera and Kahlo, Cristina Cardenas may be new to The Drawing Studio, but she is well known as an artist and an engaging teacher. She has taught and exhibited for over 20 years, and I consider her one of Tucson’s major artists.”
