Printmaking Classes with Featured Resident at the Grand Marais Art Colony

Are you interested in learning more about printmaking? The Grand Marais Art Colony is hosting a featured teaching resident named Heinrich Toh. He is a mixed media artist with a focus on printmaking. He will be teaching two classes at the printmaking studio over the course of the three weeks, and we'd love to see you there! For more information on the classes, and to register, clink the link provided. 


Layered Monoprints: Place and Memory: Heinrich will share a number of monoprint layering processes with backgrounds and the transfer of imagery with paper lithography, from inked up xerox/laser copies. This is a non-toxic, quick and easily attainable way to create a plate to print from that can yield some beautiful results. The class is fit for printmakers, collage artists, photographers and image makers wanting to create unique one off pieces and push their work further. Students are asked to bring their own copies around the themes of place and memory so that they will have the ability to print with their personal library of images. Building layers using color, composition and imagery printed on the press, participants will explore a variety of materials and methods to create depth and space between backgrounds and foregrounds to create luscious and layered monoprints.


Intro to Monoprints: Learn the absolute basics to printmaking in this beginner workshop. Explore basic printmaking applications on paper with layered monotypes, while learning to work with color, composition and printing on an etching press. It is an easy, fun, intuitive process with many possibilities.
We will combine painterly brushstrokes, use natural elements like dried flowers and leaves; along with other found materials to create impressions, marks, pattern and embossments.  Get inspired and create your own one of a kind work!
