RedLine is a diverse urban laboratory where arts, education and community converge. Our vision is to foster forms of social practice in the arts that inspire inquiry and catalyze change.

RedLine engages approximately 15–20 artists at any given time who remain “in residence” for a two year period. As part of the residency, artists receive studio space and mentoring from three to four accomplished artists per year who may be “in residence” or may be guests of RedLine on a more intermittent basis. Interactivity is a core element at RedLine: artists engage in healthy art criticism and vibrant debate as they grow together as artists and in the community. RedLine engages artists to particpate in various educational forums which allow them to learn new techniques and to hone their existing skills. The Artists-in-Residence Program is based upon an equitable selection process. Artists working in all mediums are welcome to apply including writers, filmmakers, performance artists, photographers, and visual artists. It is important to note that each artist is responsible for outfitting their studio with the necessary tools to produce their works.

Mastering a technique gives artists freedom of expression and brings about accurate visual effects. This summer, we introduce a line of workshops in intaglio techniques to help you improve your skills or to learn new ones. If you enjoy drawing, doodling or sketching,SOFT GROUND ETCHING is a good technique to know well. Noah Breuer will explore all the possibilities the soft ground offers with you - using everything from traditional drawing tools to more contemporary pressings of any object into the ground to make an impression even without running it through a press.

Rarely taught, WHITE GROUND ETCHING is a surprisingly simple method that allows attainment of instantaneous expression in full texture and tone. In this workshop designed for advanced printmakers, Douglas Collins will teach you how to mix the right soap solution and gain control of the final tonality.

Another way to obtain variations in tone is to use the spit bite technique. You can achieve delicate wash effects with soft graduated edges - that is if you master it! Roser Sales Noguerawill introduce you to the free, gestural nature of SPIT BITE ETCHING  on copper plate.

Although the acid-bitten plate offers the most long-lasting matrix for an edition of prints, some of the most dramatic, velvety blacks in all of printmaking are achieved through the drypoint and mezzotint methods. In our workshops FROM DRAWING TO PLATE: DRYPOINTand FROM DARK TO LIGHT: MEZZOTINT, you will learn from the masters the right way to ink, wipe and print your plates.

You could also consider learning THE ART OF ENGRAVING. Although it seems quite simple, requiring only a sharp burin and a metal plate to produce a line, engraving demands great control, which you can attain in this class with John Jacobsmeyer on copper plate, and if time allows on wood.

DON'T HESITATE TO LEARN MORE. MAKE IT WORK!
Please register early to secure your spot.  
Registration closes one week prior to the workshop.
