Printmaking Workshops

My name is James Pisaturo and I am a full-time tenured Art educator in the Rochester area. If you would be interested in creating an artistic collaboration with me to create a Printmaking workshop, contact me at jamphsh@gmail.com. The workshop would consist of 15 participants and run for around 2 ½ hours; depending on venue. As the participants sign up for the workshop online, they will pre-select one of our many designs to complete during the artistic process. At the workshop, the artists will receive a 9”x6” Soft-Kut carving plate with the design they choose already transferred on it, ready to go. 

Participants will be introduced to the safety precautions and the tools used for the process.  Students will have some practice time to get the feel of the carving. When they feel comfortable, they can begin the carving portion of the exploration. Artists will be encouraged to create test prints on scrap paper in order to achieve their success in the design. Each artist will have the availability to create 5 final prints on 11’x14’ printmaking paper. No experience is needed; Just an open mind and positive energy.
