Summer workshops

3 Unique Workshops worth understanding  In This Issue Lithography for Artists Collograph: Smart, Neat and Elegant Platinum/Palladium reliably Greetings! These 3 workshops offer unique approaches to some of printmaking's historically most challenging processes and do it with ease, terrific results and whole new creative latitude. Please take a moment to learn a bit more about each one. You might just find yourself working in a way thought was never for you. For a complete list of workshops click here: MAS online Jeff painting marks on waterless plate  Jeff Sippel - Artist & Master Lithographer  June 30-July 4, 2014 Jeff is a world treasure when it comes to lithography. He knows all too well the labor and chemical intensive work of stone lithography which makes him the perfect advocate for the more direct and vastly simpler forms of Waterless plate lithography and Mokulito - Japanese wood plate lithography. These are mediums for painters and monoprint artists, people who have no interest in the technical, time consuming approaches of classical stone lithography. Put simply, these approaches are a blast - quick, direct, great way to capture and express marks and make imagery. It is nothing like what you might think. The work can stand on its own or easily be incorporated in to monoprints, mixed media or used to create collage elements. Painted Intaglio Print Lennox Dunbar - Painted Intaglio July 14-18, 2014 First and foremost, Lennox is just one of those rare human beings: smart, creative and a true gentleman. From the moment Lennox came to the US to show me his process I knew this guy had something special to offer. I could not believe his prints were collagraphs. Beautiful surface, articulate marks and images, rich and multicolor as if they had gone through the press 20 times. He calls them Painted Intaglio and it is a most apt term. His processes allows plates to be reworked in many ways, have and area that is too dark you can lighten, too light you can darken, add marks, remove marks. his approach is simply captivating and unexpectedly simple. Too few pictures of me. What else is new? Don Messec: Platinum-Paladium Printing  May 26-30 New! I am announcing this a bit prematurely but it is time to let the word out. Some of you may have noticed a growing connection between MakingArtSafely and photography. I always felt these were two mediums separated at birth, but inseparable in their strong connection to works on paper. My newly developing relationship with Jon Cone along with processes like Direct-tp-Plate are allowing me to open the studio to both - photography and printmaking. This approach to making gorgeous platinum-palladium prints makes use of Cone's newest ink set, formulated and dialed in for making negatives.There is more informatin online now and more to come. Quick Links Workshop Schedule Home Page Thank you for having an interest in printmaking that is safer, and of lower more manageable environmental impact. Amazingly these newer approaches and materials are more highly creative and much friendly to you and your budget.

Frogman News

Friends of Froggy:

Welcome Back!  It's been two months since our last update and there's a lot to share.

Congratulations to Courtney Sennish from the California College of the Arts for winning this year's Graduate Student Scholarship!  As the winner, Courtney will have a solo show during this summer's workshop and have her fees for one workshop waived.

In addition to Courtney's show, we have many exhibitions scheduled for this summer's workshop.  To see our list of exhibitions please visit:  http://www.frogmans.net/Workshop%20Exhibitions.htm.  We are also taking proposals for two exhibitions to be held in the I.D. Weeks Library Galleries.  Proposals may be for portfolios, solo exhibitions, or small group (two to three artists) exhibitions.  Preference will be given to prints; however, one of the spaces may accommodate artist books.  Proposals must arrive at Frogman's by Friday, February 28th.  Selected proposals will be announced Friday, March 14th.

The deadline to submit designs for Frogman's Design Scholarship is Saturday, March 15th.  For more information about this opportunity please go to:  http://www.frogmans.net/Workshop.htm.

A special thank you to Ashton Ludden of Tennessee, Amanda Maciuba of Iowa, and Laura Grossett of Colorado. With their help, we've archived over 1,100 prints from Frogman's collection.  In exchange for their help, they will each be attending this summer's workshop.  If you or one of your colleagues would like to help archive the collection, please contact me at jeremy@frogmans.net or at (712) 352-2423.  Eventually, we envision the entire collection being available as an educational tool in the form of an searchable, online database.

Frogman's is also excited to announce that we have participants coming to the workshop this summer from two new countries, China and New Zealand.  Courses are starting to fill up so don't hesitate.  To register, please call or go online to: http://www.frogmans.net/Registration.php.

I realize this was a very long, information-packed note, so feel free to call or e-mail me with any questions.

See you this summer!
