SUMMARY:Beginning Printmaking with Recycled Tetra Pak
DESCRIPTION:Learn to make prints on a craft press using recycled food packaging. \nIn this 3-hour beginner-friendly workshop we will create easy and expressive art prints using recycled Tetra Pak as our printing plates. What in the world is Tetra Pak? It’s the food packaging material used to make cartons for broth\, oat milk\, soups and more. Come see why printing with Tetra Pak has become such a popular form of printmaking. Each student will learn how to “draw” designs onto their plates then hand print them on a portable craft press using non-toxic inks. The results can be surprisingly magical! Each student will take home 2-3 completed prints. \n\nTurn recycled Tetra Pak boxes into fast and fun printing plates.\nLearn all the basics of how to properly prepare the paper\, mark and ink up the plates\, align the plate correctly and print on a portable press.\nLearn tips for creating more complex prints by using different plate wiping techniques\, adding spot color\, and layering multiple plates.\n\nAdditional workshop details \n\nMaterials and tools: All materials are provided with tools available for in-class use.\nCourse-provided materials include recycled food packaging (Tetra Pak)\, printmaking inks\, watercolor paper for up to 4 prints/cards\, and supplies for inking and wiping the printing plates.\nBasic tools such as etching needles\, X-acto knives\, scissors\, craft knives\, cutting mats\, and a Sizzix Big Shot Plus die-cutting machine as a printing press will be available for in-class use.\nParticipants are welcome to bring images up to 4×6 in. in size for use as inspiration.\nWear an apron or old clothes that you don’t mind getting inky.\n\nOpen to all skill levels. No prior printing experience required. Tools and materials will be provided. \nInstructor: Liz Schneiders \n

SUMMARY:Secret Belgian Binding
DESCRIPTION:Secret Belgian binding (or crisscross binding) features a linear pattern of colored thread crisscrossing over and between the spine and the two covers. This structure holds the cover boards together without glue; signatures are then cleverly stitched into the spine. The result is a sturdy binding which opens completely flat making it perfect for journals\, diaries\, notebooks\, scrapbooks and sketchbooks. Participants will fold signatures and use a jig to create sewing holes. Then\, using fine art paper and book cloth\, participants will cover 3 separate boards (front\, back\, spine)\, sew the boards together\, and sew the signatures into the cover. Participants will learn principles for making the binding in different sizes. \nMinimum number of participants: 3 \nIf minimum enrollment for the class has not been reached 48 hours prior to the start of class\, VBA reserves the right to cancel the class.

SUMMARY:Joomchi & Momagami: Asian Paper Manipulation for Book Arts
DESCRIPTION:Joomchi and Momagami are both a traditional Asian paper craft that creates textured handmade paper using your hands and water. This paper art dates back to the tenth century. (A.D. 918-1392). \nThis processing transforms strong\, long-fibered paper\, such as kozo (mulberry) paper\, into a material with a rich\, leather-like texture. The resulting “kneaded paper” is highly resistant to tearing. Explore ways to manipulate strong Korean mulberry Hanji papers\, as the strength of these papers allows for the creation of felted and leather-like appearances robust enough to support stitches\, inclusions\, and appliqué. \nDuring this hands-on workshop\, we will view examples\, learn about the history\, and get your questions answered. You will also receive guidance on creating and adapting Joomchi to your projects. Consider the possibilities as you explore how the instructor has incorporated these techniques into book arts. \nParticipants are invited to bring threads\, small branches\, leaves\, pressed plants and other thin materials they may want to use for inclusion.  The instructor will have a selection of materials to share. Participants can expect to leave with an assortment of sizes and shapes of completed Joomchi and Momagami papers along with ideas for their uses with their personal book arts projects.  All levels of experience welcome. Please bring a bag lunch. \nMinimum number of participants: 4 \nIf minimum enrollment for the class has not been reached 72 hours prior to the start of class\, VBA reserves the right to cancel the class. In this case\, you will be notified 72 hours in advance\, and your registration fee will be refunded. \n  \nInstructor:  Catherine Cross Tsintzos \n       \n  \n

SUMMARY:Pressure Printing with Letterpress
DESCRIPTION:Pressure printing is an experimental\, low relief printing process that utilizes cut paper\, lace\, fabric\, stencils\, plants\, or other collaged materials adhered to a backing sheet to create layered texture and color when run through the press. The layered backing sheet is placed behind the printing paper and run over a type-high\, inked surface\, transferring the image to the press sheet through the pressure applied by the backing sheet. This can be a quick and economical way to get an image onto paper and results in a fuzzy\, atmospheric print. Participants will work individually and collectively to create a variety of stencils to print during the workshop. We will also address how to adjust cylinder packing and form height to achieve the best printed results. \nPlease note: This is an intermediate letterpress printing class. Some previous letterpress experience is required. \nParticipants are encouraged to bring their own fabric\, stencils\, plants\, or other materials to experiment with. All other necessary tools and supplies will be provided. \nMinimum number of participants: 3 \nIf minimum enrollment for the class has not been reached 72 hours prior to the start of class\, VBA reserves the right to cancel the class. In this case\, you will be notified 72 hours in advance\, and your registration fee will be refunded. \nInstructor: Jen Thomas

SUMMARY:Introduction to Drypoint and Monotype Printmaking
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Drypoint and Monotype Printmaking\nCreate one-of-a-kind prints while learning how to use an etching press\n\nThis 4-hour workshop will teach you how to combine the expressive lines of a drypoint with the painterly effects of a monotype print to create a series of colorful prints on the etching press. We will begin by scratching our images into clear PETG plastic  printing plates. You will learn how to create expressive marks with a variety of drypoint tools as you trace or draw your design.\n\nAfter inking up your plate\, we’ll demonstrate the proper way to wipe away excess ink to reveal your design. You will then place dampened paper on top of your plate and run it through the etching press to reveal your first print. As you make additional prints\, you’ll learn how to re-apply ink to your plate and adjust the pressure on the press for the best results.\n\nIn the second half of the workshop\, we will use several monotype techniques for adding color to your design. You will get to experiment with rolling on inks\, drawing with water soluble crayons\, using paper masks and more. With each pass through the press\, these different ways of adding color will make each print unique. You will finish with 3-5 prints and get to keep all your printing plates.\n\nBy the end of the workshop\, you will understand the basics of how to make a printing plate\, operate an etching press and be ready to try your own printmaking experiments.\n\nWhat to Bring: Please bring printed (not digital) photos or illustrations up to 5×7 inches in size for tracing onto your printing plate. Choose images that you can outline and shade without too much effort. Remember to reverse any images that include words or scenes that you don’t want to print backwards. Wear clothes that you don’t mind getting inky and avoid loose jewelry that could get caught in the press. All other tools and materials\, paper\, printing plates\, and intaglio inks will be provided.\n\nExperience: No prior printmaking or etching press experience needed. Appropriate for teens or adults.\n\nEtching Press Certification:\nFor drypoint and monotype prints\, an etching press is essential. Any class participants interested being certified for independent use of the etching press at the Virginia Book Arts Studio can request to take a short follow-up test to demonstrate their competency on the press. Let this workshop be the start of an ongoing printmaking practice.\n\nThe registration fee includes a $15 fee for materials.\n\nMinimum number of particapants are 2.\n\nIf minimum enrollment for the class has not been reached 72 hours prior to the start of class\, VBA reserves the right to cancel the class. In this case\, you will be notified 72 hours in advance and your registration fee will be refunded.\nInstructor: Liz Schneiders \n  \n

SUMMARY:Transparent Folded Paper Window Stars
DESCRIPTION:Folded paper stars originated in European folk arts. German educator Fredrich Froebel (1782-1852)\, founder of the idea of kindergarten\, taught young children to make 3-dimensional stars to learn spatial and math concepts. In the Scandinavian countries\, Nordic stars are traditionally hung in windows during the winter solstice season to symbolize hope\, warmth\, and the triumph of light over the long winter nights. Stars folded from transparent paper are often called Waldorf stars because Rudolph Steiner popularized the craft in his educational method to allow children to explore geometry\, color theory\, and the rhythm of the seasons \nThe magic of window stars is that they create complicated figures from simple folds. The class will make one star together\, learning the beginner folds and gluing the star points together. Then you will be able to move forward to more elaborate stars at your own pace. You will go home with a sheaf of patterns and a calm mind. \nAll tools and supplies will be provided. The class registration fee includes\, a $5 fee for materials. \nPlease bring a bag lunch/snack. \nMinimum number of participants: 2 \nIf minimum enrollment for the class has not been reached 72 hours prior to the start of class\, VBA reserves the right to cancel the class. In this case\, you will be notified 72 hours in advance\, and your registration fee will be refunded. \nInstructor:  Dorothy Smith \n
