Class/Workshop Details

For those who paint, we invite you to this unique workshop with Instructor Dixon Fish and experience the anticipation and thrill of seeing your painting emerge from the press!  Wait… the press? Yes, this class will utilize an etching press instead of a canvas and your “paint” will be water based Akua ink.  Dixon will guide you through the process of creating paintings on a sheet of plastic. Then he’ll show you how to use an etching press to transfer them to  paper.

You’ll have the freedom to paint anything you like whether your painting style is loose and expressive or controlled and angular.  Or perhaps you like collage?  You can do that too, as there are no boundaries!  The finished printed painting can have the look of any water-based media like acrylic or watercolor. For those who have experience painting, this process is a wonderful extension of the medium.  

Because in this workshop, everyone will work at their own speed, the number of transfer paintings you create is up to you.  All materials will be available for any idea you may have.

Students to Bring: Variety of watercolor paintbrushes, optional sack lunch & personal water bottle.
