For this hands-on workshop you will explore colour interactions and texture through three printmaking techniques: risography, a high-speed digital screen printmaking method; relief printing, in which the printing surface is carved away leaving a raised area to be inked; and monotype, a spontaneous, painterly technique in which a print is made by pressing paper on a painted glass, metal, or plastic sheet.

Chicago Printers Guild members Gabe Hoare and Eric Von Haynes will demonstrate these printing methods, leading you through the layering of patterns and chromatic gradients.

The workshop begins with a brief tour of Press & Pull at 12:30pm; the workshop itself begins at 1pm. You may attend the tour without joining the workshop. Open to newcomers and experienced printmakers alike — no previous experience required. Materials, equipment and light refreshments are provided.
