Francesco Geronazzo
Printmaking Retreat
with Francesco Geronazzo
This RETREAT aims to explore in depth the combinations of traditional and experimental methods of printmaking. Particularly traditional processes like drypoint, mezzotint and others that, when combined with more readily known methods, will help us to better understand our own practice.
Generating plates of different materials like zinc, polycarbonate, cardboard, tetra pack will be the main focus of this first session. Then by proofing what we made (with different colours) we will gain a better understand of where we can improve and explore further the outcomes of mono printing, gum print and other pictorial methods for generating unique states.
The goal of this 3- day activity is to give participants the opportunity to expand on their own creative identity by exploring different methods of printmaking.
