Printmaking Students Working with Color

Printmaking, Workshop

This week, with the help of Susan Groce, the Printmaking students learned many different color processes to apply to their very own copper plates! It was a week of experimentation because up to this point the Printmaking 1 class had only printed in black and white! The students hard work resulted in some beautiful prints!

Lindsey Clark-Ryan Visits Bowdoin

Workshop

Printmaker Lindsey Clark-Ryan made a visit to Bowdoin this past week (October 8-9) to install her exhibit Paper Machine in the Edwards Center for Art and Dance Maine Gallery and work with the printmaking students. Her exhibit was on display from October 9th-20th. Lindsey says she “uses printmaking and installation to complicate her sense of gravity and levity and suggest a line between disaster and control.” She is also “interested in how prints act as objects and how found or constructed things can become ephemera.” She resides in Northampton, MA, where she teaches at Smith College. Her visit was sponsored by the Marvin Bileck and Emily Nelligan Trust.
