Repurposing Misprints

$155.00A 3-Day Online Workshop!
Saturdays, June 11, 18, and 25, 10am-12pm ET via Zoom
About this Workshop:
This online workshop explores ways to create or REcreate artwork using misprints, unfinished drawings, abandoned print projects, and other pieces of paper that have been collected in your creative space. We will explore techniques of collage, stenciling, and simple accordion book structures to generate new artwork from old prints and paper.
The students will learn how to use adhesives for their individual projects, and work with various water media to enhance their prints. How to incorporate additional ephemera into pieces and how to build simple book structures to collage in will also be discussed. Students will learn playful ways to generate new artwork by reusing their own and adding to it in creative ways.
Level: All levels welcome.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
Kimberley Bursic is a painter, printmaker, and collage artist. She studied at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where she received a BFA in printmaking and book arts. She relocated west to Washington State University to complete my MFA, focusing on printmaking, monotype and large format book structures. Her time and travels in Washington and the Pacific Northwest ignited her interest in landscape as a visual language. After graduate school, she worked on the Umatilla Indian Reservation at Crow’s Shadow Institute, a non-profit printmaking and art studio. Then she was offered a position at Tyler Graphics in NY as an etching printer. There she learned how to make fine art prints for artists such as Helen Frankenthaler, Frank Stella, Al Held, and John Walker. After working many years as a professional printer, she found painting to be a good fit for her personal and artistic needs. She regularly incorporates both into her works on paper.
