When Friday-Sunday, November 7-9, 2008; Friday 7:00-9:00 pm Instructor’s Reception,
Saturday and Sunday 10:00am to 5:00pm class instructionWhere: The Copper Shop Gallery - Located on the national historic landmark Roycroft Campus at
31 South Grove Street in East Aurora, NY 14052About: Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan, Dorothy Markert, will be teaching a two-day class in her own technique of screen printing. The images will be painted directly on the screens and each color will be printed separately, one on top of the other to build up to the finished print. This method is in keeping with the Roycroft philosophy of hand craft. The screen printing supplies are all water based and non-toxic. All materials will be provided so that each student can create and take home an edition of their own original prints as well as Dorothy’s complete manual and a screen complete with backing board and hinges that they can use for future work. She will correspond with registered students so that they can work up their designs before the class. She will have books with copyright designs that they can use in class. You may come in our class with a complete design or with just an idea. The history and development of screen printing will be discussed; she will have a collection of books on the subject for students to see. Arts and Crafts design will be stressed. Matting and framing will also be addressed. Screen printing, the most direct and painterly of the printing mediums is also among the latest to attain the status of an art form. This technique lends itself to working at home, without the large investment necessary in other printmaking processes.
