Etching Open Studio
with Jane Pagliarulo & Guest Etchers
An ongoing benefit for Print Arts Northwest.
Intaglio printmaking techniques work by incising into the surface of a plate, in this case copper, with tools or with acid. There are a myriad of possibilities for mark-making, and we will share some of the mysteries we’ve learned about copper while you learn at your own pace. Beginners are welcome, and seasoned etchers too! Class limit 8 students. No pre-registration necessary, just drop in.
Each class costs only $10.00. Initial supply fee $15.00 includes one 4 x 6 copper plate, 4 pieces of proofing paper, acids grounds and black and brown ink. Akua Kolor colored inks (water-soluble and non-toxic) also available. Other papers available at cost.

Ron Pokrasso Beyond Monotype
Date TBA - Spring 2012
The Santa Fe Master of Monotypes, Ron Pokrasso, covers a wide range of techniques possible in the monotype process and continues through the use of collage, drawing, and multiple plate projects. Working with Akua non toxic waterbased inks participants will be encouraged to pursue their artistic vision using monotype as a mark making tool in combination with whatever other techniques are efficient and available. The notion of the "artist as an inventor" will be stressed as mixed media techniques open the door to limitless opportunities. The approach is energetic and open, as each participant’s individualstyle will help to dictate the direction of the workshop.
Modifying, layering, mixing inks, finding color, use and abuse of mark-making tools, exploring the limits of paper, collage, chine colle and built up surface, including solving issues after printing will all be discussed. Working with drawing materials, and the possible integration of other platemaking matrices, as well as finishing prints as resolved and complete expressions, are all aspects of the workshop. With numerous demonstrations and the interspersing of art making philosophies this workshop is an intensive, information packed, enriching experience.
The cost is $550.00** plus paper and includes instruction from 9-5 (with 1 hour lunch break) for 5 days as well as open studio time in the evenings. All inks and tools are provided. A list of optional supplies, directions, and other pertinent information will be sent upon registration. A non-refundable deposit of $200. is required to save a spot in the class. The deposit can be applied to a future class should you need to cancel, but sixteen days' notice is required. If we cancel the class due to poor enrollment then we will refund your deposit. For more information and to reserve a space contact Jane Pagliarulo, [email protected], 503-729-9013.

Encaustic collagraph with Elise Wagner and Jane Pagliarulo
DAte TBA, 2 days: 9am to 4pm
Combining monotype with encaustic’s textural elements is a process that explodes beyond the boundaries of printmaking! Matrices of wax are built onto plexiglass, then we apply water based inks, wipe free the excess ink, and run it through an intaglio press to be printed on paper. These techniques can produce subtle and mysterious marks, allowing for variable prints or editions. Mixing inks, modifying, rolling out a flat, use and abuse of mark-making tools will be explored, along with multiple plates and registration techniques. Collage and chine colle will be discussed, along with encaustic inlaying and incising techniques.
Day 1: Beginning Encaustic Painting We start at Elise Wagner’s studio, where she will cover the rudiments of encaustic methods & tools. We create an encaustic painting with white wax on a plexiglass plate to create textured collagaphs ready for color application and printing with Jane at Atelier Meridian the next day.
Day 2: Printing collagraphs and monoprints Going just down the street with Jane to her studio at Atelier Meridian, we take it to a whole new level to produce monotypes from our encaustic plates. We will apply water based inks, painting or rolling them onto the plates, then print them using an etching press. The possible combinations of encaustic texture and printmaking are endless! Participants are encouraged to bring any favorite tools or brushes. Class limit 8 participants.
$250** workshop fee plus $40.00 supply fee includes 4 re-usable plexi plates, two sheets of proofing paper, non-archival paper, encaustic supplies, tarlatan and printing inks.

Gut Document / Strategies for Observational Monotype with Gabriel Liston
A series of Workshops on Wednesday mornings - Date TBA
An ongoing workshop series for the creation of print imagery based on direct observation. Given the vast availability of digitally reproduced and photo-based images, it is unnecessary for any artist to draw and paint from observation. Freed from the responsibility of showing the rest of the world what it looks like, artists can now document only those aspects of the visual world that are worth taking in through the eyes and stomach and pushing back out again by the hand. Which is, possibly, everything.
But it can be broken-down into bite-sized categories. Gut Document is an attempt to open up different observational situations as source material for printmaking. All workshops will begin with drawing in sketchbooks or directly on the back of plexi-glass plates. We then bring these plates into the print shop to ink and print with a variety of monotype approaches. The printed images can then stand on their own; or be used as compositional templates for relief prints, etchings, or oil paintings (or more monotypes); or be torn down into collage material. Participants should dress for the outdoors, as most workshops begin there.
Gut Document: Vanport with Gabriel Liston
Date TBA, 3 days: 9am to 2 pm
We ride max to the area of North Portland briefly occupied by the Vanport community in the 1940’s and draw with sharpie on the backs of several plexiplates, bringing them back to the print shop to ink and print them several times. We ask: what are ways of showing what has been through what now is. (no guarantees that this is actually possible). Class fee $195.00** plus $15 supply fee.
