Date & Time: Saturdays by appointment. Please email us at [email protected] to arrange an afternoon time. Suggested Cost: $10/hr ($9/hr for members) with materials included or bring your own materials for a flat rate of $10. *Printmaking available only to individuals who have taken a printmaking course or workshop at TCFA. 6-hr one-on-one tutorials are available |

Spring 2019 Schedule - completed
Mezzotint - Beginning & Intermediate - completed
|
Course Title: Mezzotint - Beginner & Intermediate
(Six 3-hr sessions on Mondays & Tuesdays ) Date: April 15, 16,22, 23, 29 & 30 Time: 5:30-8:30pm Instructor: Judy Barringer Cost : $85(CayAC members receive 10% discount) Materials: $25 - all materials including one 4x6" rocked plate and additional copper if desired. Descriptive: Mezzotint, from Italian, mezzo-tinto for "half-tone" or “half-painted”, is technically a drypoint method in the intaglio family. Unlike etching, where acid is used to etch lines in the surface of the plate, thereby achieving the desired level of tonality, tonality is achieved by “distressing” the surface of a copper plate with thousands of little pits made by a metal tool with small teeth, called a "rocker." The entire surface of the plate is evenly roughened manually with the rocker. Tonality in the image is achieved by using tools such as burnishers and scrapers to smooth desired portions of the plate. It is similar to making a charcoal drawing and bringing out the highlights with an eraser. As in intaglio printing, the tiny pits in the plate hold the ink when the face of the plate is wiped clean. Areas smoothed with the burnisher and/or scraper will not hold ink and will print "white," that is, without ink. A richness in the print can be achieved by varying the degree of smoothing, creating varying tones between black and white. I Color Mixing Workshop
Sunday Afternoon, Feb. 24th Course Title: Capturing Color's Little Secrets (One 2.5 hr session)
Instructor: Don Ellis Date: Sunday, Feb. 24th Time: 1-3:30pm Cost: $35 (CayAC members receive 10% discount) Materials Fee: $5 Course Description: This exploration in color mixing aims to empower artists by giving them an organized way to think about mixing paint. No particular skill or understanding is needed to engage in this fun workshop. We will employ carefully the language of color and a palette of ten hues to create a useful take-home reference chart.

Optional studio time Sundays 1-3:30pm
Instructor: Judy Barringer
Cost (all materials included EXCEPT copper): 85*(CayAC members receive 10% discount)

A richness in the print can be achieved by varying the degree of smoothing, creating varying tones between black and white.
In these six sessions artists will have the opportunity to rock a plate, create the 'drawing' by burnishing and scraping the plate to create the mid-tones between black and white, and pull a couple prints from the plate. Provided supplies will include a copper plate, ink, paper, and the necessary tools for rocking and burnishing the plates.
