Handy with a scroll saw?  Interested in printmaking?  Even if you’re not so handy, we can teach you skills in the woodshop AND the printshop during this two-day jig-saw relief print workshop!  A simple and fun process will yield intricate, high-contrast images.  Leroy-Neimen Center trained printmaker Noah Breuer will  help you perfectly translate your design to a beautiful, colorful print.

 

Sculptors, woodworkers, and 2-D artists alike will easily take to this multi-faceted process.  You’ll use power tools to cut up wood blocks like puzzle pieces, ink each piece in a separate color and then reassemble to print! The result are perfectly registered, multi-color prints made with only one pass through the press! Learn the basics of relief printmaking, transfer techniques, embossing and more.

 

THIS WORKSHOP COMES WITH 10 HOURS OF FREE STUDIO TIME!

 

Space is limited! Sign up today.

In an era when art encompasses infinite amalgams of visual media, The Gowanus Studio Space encourages inter-disciplinary exchange and provides affordable access to facilities for artists and designers.  Offering exhibition, curation and production opportunities, the studio is an incubator for new ideas and an inroad to today's insular art world.  


The GSS' 40+ members rent low-cost studios and storage and have 24-hour access to a woodshop, print studio and large common workspace.  GSS was established with little funding in industrial Gowanus in 2007, and is now in the final stage of an ambitious move to a new 7500 sq-ft home.
