Camera-less Eco-photography: from Plant to Print for Book Artists
About
An online Center for Book Arts workshop on making photographic images without a camera, taking plant material through to prints that book artists can use in their work. It runs online from November 7 to November 14, 11am to 1pm Eastern, with sliding-scale tuition printed as $25–$200. Being virtual there is no travel; the Center's own studios are on the 3rd floor at 28 W 27th St, near the 28 St station (R, W). The Center's other online classes on our calendar this season include Relief Printing Anywhere (November 23 and 30) and Zines, Zines, Zines! on December 7.

New to printmaking?
Printmaking classes cover ways of making an image you can print more than once: carving lino or wood blocks, screen printing, monotypes, etching or letterpress.
- Block printing and monotype are the friendliest starts; etching and letterpress need more studio time.
- Inks stain. Wear old clothes and expect to wash up at the end.
- You usually leave with an edition of several prints, not just one.
Taking it home: Usually the same day, once the ink is dry enough to carry. Oil-based prints may need a few days.
