Introduction to polyester plate lithography, with Alice Dubiel, September 15 and 22. $110. materials included. Polyester litho is an inexpensive commercial method of printmaking using custom sized plates on which artists can use digital media, derive from photocopy/laser print, draw directly, or use other media to create the image. We will not include color separations in this workshop, but confine ourselves to simple one-run images, and point to possibilities for mixed media printmaking

Open Studio and Thunder and Lightning Press
 |
| Barbara Bruch with our Thunder and Lightning Press, Summer 2012, during a storm |
To acquaint you with the press and our recent activity, we invite you to an open studio, November 11, 2-6pm. Barbara and Alice will offer demonstrations on the press and small works will be for sale, including Alice's stencil, below. It's also an opportunity to hear about Alice's recent exhibition in Gwangju, Korea and visit to the city's Biennale.
Barbara Bruch studied with the late Glen Alps at UW and authenticated the legacy of his studio. For over 40 years, she has offered workshops in collagraph and other printmaking techniques. She is also available for private lessons. Alice studied printmaking with Barbara and other NW instructors, working primarily in collagraph and mixed techniques including polyester lithograph and digital media.
For more information, contact Alice Dubiel alicedubiel@planetart.us

Planet Art and its printing division, Thunder and Lightning Press, are located in North Beach, Ballard, near North Beach creek, north of the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks
2811 NW 93rd Street
Seattle WA 98117-2936
Due to numerous conflicts in Portland and a few in Seattle, Barbara Bruch will not offer a collagraph workshop in Portland this fall. Thunder and Lightening Press plans to offer workshop opportunities in Seattle and Portland in the new year. We acquired the Alps Press as a result of the closure of Sev Shoon Arts Center in Ballard.

Approaching Biocenology: Meditations on the Wild and the Sacred
A Statement
I like to explore different landscape representations to express my personal experiences and cultural interactions with geography. I am interested in the conflicts which arise from our expectations about land use, expectations shaped by idealized art and design images and our vernacular urban setting. By employing the approach of pattern and decoration, I would like to create a different language referring to many traditions including maps, Roman and Byzantine mosaics, Japanese decorative art, textile design, indigenous Australian paintings and shrine technologies of many cultures. I like to use the term biocenology in this interface of cultural and natural systems because it is the study of communities and member interactions in nature; it is an exploration of systems, part of the science of ecology.
Much of my work over the past twenty years expresses the theme–Land Use: An Alchemical Treatise to explore the connections between our belief systems about society and how we treat the planet, each other.
Currently I work with acrylic, encaustic, mixed media and printmaking approaches. Some paintings feature topographic maps which I photocopy onto handmade paper. Others incorporate images or formal structures. Upon this layer, I lay acrylic or encaustic washes; sometimes more than one to build luminosity and relate to the landscape. Then I add stamped images of animals such as fish, birds and eggs and seeds, using brilliantly colored and iridescent pigments derived from mica. With these techniques, I am trying to express the complexity of overlapping multiplicity and the tendency of natural processes to pursue cycles of life.
In its relentless desire for control, the Western landscape tradition distances the viewer from the outdoors and people. Visual traditions and themes create a kind of language that exerts a powerful effect on social consciousness. Artists choose particular traditions and themes to explore and alter these ranges of expression. I want to create new narratives that reaffirm our ties to where we live, the planet, nature and its cycles.
Alice Dubiel January 2009
We have some technologies for aiding our quest toward consciousness, toward life-death-life cycle affirmation. These are the technologies of symbol making, experiencing community as spirit, infusing wildness with cultivation, blending the natural and the cultural with conscience. These technologies make each of us everyday artists.
