In this workshop combining letterpress printing with collage and writing, students will learn how to improvise in multiple directions simultaneously and find balance between text, form, and process. What do you do when the paper isn’t big enough, when the text isn’t small enough, or when the press needs to be bigger? Letterpress as a collage mechanism can be a profound exploration of scale and is ideal for creating larger-format works. Professor at University of Minnesota grants Fulbright (Slovakia), McKnight Fellowship, Bush Artists Grant, Minnesota State Arts Board grants residency: The Frans Masereel Center (Belgium) collections: Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Detroit Institute of Arts, Library of Congress representation: Davidson Galleries (Seattle). The work of various artists will serve as inspiration, and students will be encouraged to work in the style of their preference, as both figurative and abstract approaches will benefit from these uniquely stunning processes.
