Pyramid Atlantic Art Center: Pressure Printing on the Vandercook (In-Person)

Thursdays, October 14 & 21, 2021
6PM - 9PM (ET)
Pyramid Atlantic Art Center (Hyattsville, MD)

In this workshop, we will explore pressure printing with cut paper templates on a variety of papers to achieve atmospheric effects not usually seen in relief printing. We will use different textures and weights of paper to make templates in addition to printing the “ghost” of images. We will also discuss how to operate the Vandercook press and mixing ink. Expect to experiment and leave with a collection of prints!
