New tools and technologies are coming out every day and digital imaging and printing are revolutionizing the way we make art. Come and explore some of these new tools and learn how they can be combined with traditional printmaking. This workshop will introduce some of the techniques from the book, Digital Art Studio,and will focus on creating non-traditional substrates to be incorporated with digital imagery. Participants will also get a chance to try out a variety of processes including bleed printing, printing on thin papers, and transfers to fresco and paper. Participants will be expected to have digital images prepared before the workshop so some digital imaging skills are required. Come and learn this new tool which will take your work into the 21st century.
