PRINT/LETTERPRESS – SUMMER SESSION 3
June 16-28, 2024 (11 STUDIO DAYS)
Andrew Rubin
Reductive Relief Class

Using Penland’s letterpress studio and its four Vandercook presses, students will plan and print two editions during this workshop. The first will be a four-color process print in perfect registration, which will familiarize students with the reductive process for making multi-color prints from a single block. For the second edition, we will loosen things up, work in different sizes, and add the possibility of chine collé, stencils, monoprinting, and blend rolls. These prints will become part of an exchange portfolio so each student will have a suite of prints from the session. Demonstrations will also include Vandercook press maintenance, troubleshooting, inking, and cleaning. All levels. Letterpress studio.

Instructor of printmaking at University of Wisconsin-Madison; former master printer for University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Tandem Press; has collaborated with more than 75 artists including Jim Dine, Alison Saar, Robert Cottingham, Ruth Weisberg, and Judy Pfaff.
