Course description:
During the course students will set up a silkscreen printing workshop at Seyðisfjörður in the East Fjords of Iceland. Students will then use those facilities for working in printmaking. They will also be introduced to other techniques in collaboration with other institutions in town, depending on the individual practice of each student. They will study the arrangement of the workshops and by doing so developing a deeper understanding of the printmaking process and key elements in the production of a printed work. Other processes will also be introduced such as the stretching of a mesh in a silk screen frame, the assembly of an exposure unit, preparation of a drying facility and the organisation of the printing process. Each student will work individually on an editioned graphic work under the guidance of specialists in printmaking. The individual works as well as the workshop itself will form an exhibition at Skaftfell Center of Visual Art.
