The Artform of Printmaking
Printmaking is the form of creating art by technical processes using ink. For those not familiar with printmaking as an art, if you ever tried linoleum in school, than you've tried the simplest of the printmaking processes. Much of the beauty of printmaking comes from the laborious technique and effects that can only be achieved in the traditional arts in these forms.
The four divisions of printmaking:

(1) Relief. Ink sits on the raised surfaces and is transferred to paper. Examples, woodcut, linoleum and colograph.



(2)Intaglio. Ink sits in surfaces below the surface of the plate. Examples, Etching, engravings, dry point.



(3) Planography. Inks sit on a flat surface, by chemical means. Examples, lithographs and monotypes.


(4)Serigraphy or silkscreen. Involves screen stencils in which ink passes through the open pores of the screen onto printed area.


This does not include all printmaking processes, but gives a brief overview.

Hi guys! I'm thinking of implementing a new rule, it won't effect most of you!

Just a simple limit (not a target!) of 4 submissions per member, per month, if you send more than that we'll pick our favorite four out of them, it'll just make life a little easier for now, but if we get more help maybe we can go back to the old way again. :)

P.S. Any problems with anything feel free to pm me on my own account!

I apologize I haven't had time to update the club. If any current members have time and would like to help out with printmakers, please send a note to lavonia or go to lavoniamartin.com and email me and let me know.

I usually update every 2 weeks-month and it takes an hour or two out of my time. Unfortunately, I'm covered with work atm. :( Cathy has class to deal with during semester and we have one admin completely afk. :) Just send a note. Thanks.

once you finish you can put it on a board with a piece of new print spritzed with water and the brown water glue tape around the edges...once the newprint dries and shrinks it will dry flat....let me know if you have anymore questions and i will show you what i mean.

flat? what do you mean by flat?
copper plate will give you sharper definition. Sometimes i use pure aqua tint without any preliminary drawing and you can make some nice flat tones within about 5-10 minutes in ferric chloride. :)
