Painted Tongue Press will be resuming its workshop program on October 21st in Oakland, California. The weekly, Sunday afternoon course will accept students interested in learning any of the following disciplines: letterpress design or printing, monotype printing, solar etching, drawing, or painting (oil, watercolor, or acrylic). This workshop has a unique structure. At any given time, the participants are at various experience levels and working in different media. Studio staff move from student to student, providing instruction and guidance specific to the student's project and background. We've used this format in the past with wonderful synergistic results. It also works well for those who have a project in mind, and would like feedback, information, and tools to help them achieve it.
The studio is equipped with a Vandercook 4 letterpress, a Heidelberg Windmill, a 40x60" Griffin etching press, and a tabletop Griffin etching press, a 40" paper cutter and 23" guillotine, photopolymer platemaker, plus a few other gadgets that we like to experiment with. The workshop fee includes the possibility of pre-scheduled, uninstructed work time during the week, using any equipment the student is qualified to use.
The workshops will run on a semester system. There will be three semesters each year. The first one will be a partial semester from October 21 to December 9th for $280. This includes instruction plus materials that are reusable and remain in the studio. There is currently space for 8 students. If more students enroll, we will consider opening another session.
Before the workshop begins, each student will have an opportunity to meet with me to create a personal syllabus, establish the goals that the student would like to learn or accomplish, go over what materials the student will need for class, and whether it makes more sense for the student to purchase them or pay a materials fee for ones on hand at the studio.
