4-Color Intaglio with Melissa Pepin Saturday, February 26 & Sunday, February 27, 10am – 4pm. Fees: M-$150, NM-$170. Materials Fee: $20 This workshop is designed for the intermediate printmaker. It will provide students with the ability to create images using 4 color ImagOn plates. Computer-generated, hand- drawn or manipulated originals will be created on separate transparencies, registered, and printed in sequence to produce full tonal and color range. Individual experimentation with this process will be encouraged. The class will use Akua water-based intaglio inks and in doing so, make it possible to ink-up, wipe and print quickly, efficiently and safely. Day 1: Technical discussion on how to make a CMYK color separation; how to make transparencies; testing techniques for different printers; handling, laminating and exposing ImagOn plates; and how to make ImagOn developer. Day 2: Registration of plates, color corrections and time to work and experiment.

We’ll explore making monoprint images from different substrate bases to take on a more dimensional aspect of monoprinting with plenty of time to make several images.

Hands-On the Exposure Unit with Melissa Pepin Sunday, March 13 & Sunday, March 20, 10am-4pm. Fees: M-$150, NM-$170. Materials Fee: $10 This workshop will provide detailed information and hands-on experience in all aspects of using the new Amerigraph exposure unit to create plates and screens. We will review step-by-step how the unit works and to develop the confidence artists need to make plates and screens with proficiency and ease. Day 1: technical discussion of how the exposure unit works, how to scoop coat a silkscreen, and tests that can help determine exposure times. Day 2: We will concentrate on plate making and exposing. Through testing and use of the aquatint screen we will learn how to best make ImagOn and other light sensitive plates.

PCNJ INSTRUCTORS Pamela Moore’s art is a fascinating synthesis of diverse yet harmonious mediums and methods, combining Monoprinting, Etching, Electric Drypoint, Photography Collage and Digital Imagery. Her work is drawn from many sources including, Poetry, Mapmaking, Botany, Pottery, and Urban Architecture. Moore has just been commissioned by John Wiley & Sons to make a unique one of a kind Monoprint piece to be finished early this spring. She has made many other commissions both public and private including, The New York Philharmonic, Progenitor Corp, Alleghany Corp., The Thames Water Project, The American Institute for Foreign Studies and Price Waterhouse Coopers.

Melissa Pepin is a printmaker and educator. She received her BA from Rutgers University, her MFA in Fine Art Ed from Kean University, and a Graduate Certificate in Non-toxic Intaglio Printmaking and MFA from Rochester Institute of Technology. She has taught Roving Press programs and has served on PCNJ’s Board.

Caroline Garcia Ziegler is an artist based in Philadelphia, PA. Originally from Louisiana, she earned her MFA in Book Arts & Printmaking at the University of the Arts and her BFA in Printmaking at Louisiana State University. Caroline has shown her work in multiple venues around the country, and is the 2010 Artist-in-Residence at PCNJ. Her interest in printmaking and book arts is fueled by the tools of narration. Words, images, and syntax are all tools of narration, but so are the letterpress accessories such as lead and wood type, as well as the linoleum and wood blocks from which she carves her imagery. She is currently interested in testing the boundaries of narration by using elements of nonsense and re-combining familiar archetypes to create new stories.

Learn how to achieve perfect registration with multiple colors through reductive printing on a Universal I letterpress. Students will learn about the tools, materials, carving sequence and printing methods associated with the reductive process, and experience the magic of a sophisticated rainbow roll! All students will have the opportunity to carve and print an individual component of a collaborative poster.

This program is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation.
