Printmaker's Party 2023 Recap

Way back in June, I hosted a wonderful group of women for a Printmaker's Party!  It was a fabulous three day smorgasbord of printmaking techniques -- screenprinting, stamping, stenciling, and monoprinting.  We tried so many different techniques.  And, as you'll see in the photos, I encouraged the students to use the same or similar images with each of the techniques so that they could see focus on the technique rather than design.  So grab a hot beverage and take a peek at all the fun we had:

There were friends-in-real-life, friends-from-online-who-met-for-the-first-time, a mother-daughter duo, and a few repeat students.  They came from all across the country - flying from California, driving from Connecticut, and everywhere in between.  Some students made a week-long vacation out of the trip -- taking in the sights and the museums all around Boston.  Here's what they had to say about the class:

• "This class was such a great experience! You, Julie, were so encouraging and helpful, and you made me feel like I could do so much more than I thought I could. Thank you so much!"
• "Printmaker’s Party was an exceptional experience. Julie taught multiple techniques throughout each day with time to practice and answer any questions.Her knowledge and ability to make challenging ideas accessible is exceptional.I was able to adapt the techniques into my own style. In addition to Julie’s insight and knowledge, learning from other classmates was also beneficial.  Julie provided all the supplies necessary for class which made traveling to a class simple. The food for breakfast and lunch was delicious and gave me time to sit with other students and get to know them. Thanks Julie!"
• "It was so much fun learning simple, inexpensive methods of creating & utilizing a plethora of printmaking tools & going home w/ a customized booklet containing my own examples of each technique!"
• "Printmaker's Party was informative and fun. Julie shares her extensive knowledge of printmaking so thoroughly with her students. The inspiration during class is endless, you will leave ready to continue your printmaking at home with very accessible supplies, ideas and friends loving what you like to do too! Julie throws a great party!!!"
• "Printmaker's Party was an excellent learning environment and an opportunity to sample a variety of bite-size projects. Food was great. Comfortable, friendly vibe in which to learn and create."
