The process of scratchboard is as basic as drawing with a pencil. The artist uses a knife instead of a pencil and applies the strokes to a panel coated with black india ink over white clay instead of applying to white paper. With each stroke of the knife blade, a scratch removes the black ink revealing the white beneath. We’ll be initially inspired by viewing contemporary scratchboard artists’ works, then do an exercise to gain confidence in removing a wide range of black and creating those grey tones, and finally on the second day we’ll do a quick review of composition and be starting our own artworks using our chosen subject matter and an excellent composition.

Journey into the Great Round is a yoga, meditation and philosophy class. As artists, we recognize there is a rhythm to our creative process. There are some days we are energized and full of inspiration, and there are other days when we feel stuck and exhausted. Understanding these rhythms and cycles is critical in finding your flow and sustaining a creative practice without getting frustrated and feeling defeated. We will move through an all-levels yoga class and guided meditation which embodies this journey. Learn how to navigate the ups and downs that are inevitable in all journeys (artistic, relationship, work, parenthood, creative projects, loss, etc.) and understand it is ultimately about personal growth.

We will explore the use of various prep methods for printing, as well as modifiers to change the colors of our final prints. Rust printing will be explored and even combined with our botanical prints to create an additional level of colors, textures, and details to a print. You will come away from the workshop with a treasure trove of papers that can be used in collage, book making, or even stand on their own as a beautiful finished botanical print.
