Unconventional Materials: A Printmaking Workshop with Jill Saxton Smith

Do you want your art to be more intuitive and emotive? In this two-day workshop artist Jill Saxton Smith will guide you in her approach to partnering with materials to create work that embodies emotions and inner experiences.

You’ll learn traditional and unconventional printmaking techniques; printing with rust and linocut relief printing. Jill will show you how both printing methods can be combined and layered with other traditional and unconventional mediums such as wax, milk, charcoal and ink.

Not only will we explore elements of translucency, texture, and basic composition, we will also consider how material choices and intuitive processes can deepen the concept and content of the work.
