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

Planet Art has acquired a press created by the late Glen Alps especially for collagraph. Thunder and Lightning Press will create print editions and offer workshops with artists Barbara Bruch and Alice Dubiel.

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.

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.
