Raised areas on a block or plate (typically plywood, linoleum, or cintra) are constructed by physically cutting areas of the block away, creating a shallow “relief”. Using a brayer or roller, ink is rolled over the surface and is deposited only on the raised areas of the block. Paper or fabric is then placed onto the inked plate and printed via printing press, barren, or spoon. This is a studio course focused on the theory and practice of printmaking as an expressive medium. This class is for students with no prior printmaking experience up to the intermediate student, all are welcome.  Basic supplies are provided.  Some students may want to buy special paper for use in class.   Acrylic Grisaille Painting with Lauren AdamsTuesdays, March 25 - April 29 (5:30 - 7:30pm)“Grisaille” is a monochromatic underpainting method that uses shades of gray or sepia to build the foundation for a painting.

Raised areas on a block or plate (typically plywood, linoleum, or cintra) are constructed by physically cutting areas of the block away, creating a shallow “relief”. Using a brayer or roller, ink is rolled over the surface and is deposited only on the raised areas of the block. Paper or fabric is then placed onto the inked plate and printed via printing press, barren, or spoon. This is a studio course focused on the theory and practice of printmaking as an expressive medium. This class is for students with no prior printmaking experience up to the intermediate student, all are welcome.  Basic supplies are provided.  Some students may want to buy special paper for use in class.   Acrylic Grisaille Painting with Lauren AdamsTuesdays, March 25 - April 29 (5:30 - 7:30pm)“Grisaille” is a monochromatic underpainting method that uses shades of gray or sepia to build the foundation for a painting.

Raised areas on a block or plate (typically plywood, linoleum, or cintra) are constructed by physically cutting areas of the block away, creating a shallow “relief”. Using a brayer or roller, ink is rolled over the surface and is deposited only on the raised areas of the block. Paper or fabric is then placed onto the inked plate and printed via printing press, barren, or spoon. This is a studio course focused on the theory and practice of printmaking as an expressive medium. This class is for students with no prior printmaking experience up to the intermediate student, all are welcome.  Basic supplies are provided.  Some students may want to buy special paper for use in class.   Acrylic Grisaille Painting with Lauren AdamsTuesdays, March 25 - April 29 (5:30 - 7:30pm)“Grisaille” is a monochromatic underpainting method that uses shades of gray or sepia to build the foundation for a painting.

Using a brayer or roller, ink is rolled over the surface and is deposited only on the raised areas of the block. Paper or fabric is then placed onto the inked plate and printed via printing press, barren, or spoon.

Raised areas on a block or plate (typically plywood, linoleum, or cintra) are constructed by physically cutting areas of the block away, creating a shallow “relief”. Using a brayer or roller, ink is rolled over the surface and is deposited only on the raised areas of the block. Paper or fabric is then placed onto the inked plate and printed via printing press, barren, or spoon. This is a studio course focused on the theory and practice of printmaking as an expressive medium. This class is for students with no prior printmaking experience up to the intermediate student, all are welcome.  Basic supplies are provided.  Some students may want to buy special paper for use in class.   Acrylic Grisaille Painting with Lauren AdamsTuesdays, March 25 - April 29 (5:30 - 7:30pm)“Grisaille” is a monochromatic underpainting method that uses shades of gray or sepia to build the foundation for a painting.

Using a brayer or roller, ink is rolled over the surface and is deposited only on the raised areas of the block. Paper or fabric is then placed onto the inked plate and printed via printing press, barren, or spoon. This is a studio course focused on the theory and practice of printmaking as an expressive medium. This class is for students with no prior printmaking experience up to the intermediate student, all are welcome.  Basic supplies are provided.  Some students may want to buy special paper for use in class.   Acrylic Grisaille Painting with Lauren AdamsTuesdays, March 25 - April 29 (5:30 - 7:30pm)“Grisaille” is a monochromatic underpainting method that uses shades of gray or sepia to build the foundation for a painting.

This fee applies to all programs with a fee of $5.00 or more. Fees collected of less than $5.00 will not be refunded (unless Leisure Services cancels the program/class).  If ACC Leisure Services Department is responsible for the cancellation of a program or class, a full refund will be issued.   Refunds will be issued only to the individual who registered the participant.  In unusual situations (patron is relocating, has an illness, or becomes physically unable to continue the program, etc.) where a refund is requested for services that have been paid in advance, the balance of the remaining value may be refunded after receipt of a written request.   Behavior-related dismissals may not be eligible for refund. The Arts Education Department at Lyndon House Arts Center is dedicated to providing high-quality arts education curriculum and enrichment to youth, adults, and teens in the Athens area.
