Print Group Workshop
(available to members only)
The Print Group is an informal group of printmakers that generally meets once a month during the Association season. All skill levels from novice to pro, whether using digital or wet darkrooms, are welcome. Our goal is to help all of us become better printmakers. Each participant bringing prints for comments and presents them before the group. They describe what they were trying to accomplish with that print and what, if any, difficulties they may be looking for help with. Many participants chose to bring prints that they are working on for monthly competition.
The primary feedback from the group members is in the form of comments on whether they feel the maker achieved their goal in making the print, whether the image is effective, how to improve the image, and on any item(s) that the maker has asked for help with. We will cover techniques using primarily Photoshop and Elements, but will also try to help with Lightroom or wet darkroom questions. Some of the topics often touched on during the discussions include: composition, matting, paper choices, and more. The discussion is intended to be informal. There is no scoring involved. Participants may bring up to five prints, preferably 7" x 10 " or larger so that the group can more easily see them.
