After exploring the wood cut medium (printing by both hand and press using oil based inks), students will delve into Japanese paper mounting techniques, which involve seamlessly fusing multiple, handmade paper fibers together by hand before or after printing on them. Papers are adhered with wheat starch paste (non-toxic and easy to prepare). The incorporation of fiber-based materials will be covered as well. The class will also take a look back at the work of former Hui visiting artists and printmakers (including Artemio Rodriguez, Cannon Ball Press, Swoon, and Nicola Lopez) in order to learn about contemporary innovations within the print medium.
