Lyn Bishop : Sharing Secrets

Explore, experiment and develop new approaches to printing your digital images…

Description: Join Lyn for an intensive playshop designed to take your digital images and photography beyond the standard inkjet print. Participants will work with their own completed digital imagery with the focus on outputting files to alternative surfaces such as acrylic skins, handmade paper, non-porous surfaces, and transfer film. Participants will complete several techniques in alternative digital fine art printmaking during the workshop with an emphasis on exploration, experimentation and developing new approaches to printing their digital images.

* create monoprint transfers on paper and wood
* create dramatic luminescent prints using pearlescent undercoatings
* create flexible gel skins to use as alternative substraits
* create textured, fresco like surfaces

* print using Epson wide format printer using archival inks
* Use Golden products and precoats for surface prep

Please note: Students should be proficient in Photoshop and prepared to bring their completed digital files to class. This playshop focuses on outputting digital files to alternative surfaces and does not cover aspects of image creation.

The playshops are lead by digital artist Lyn Bishop. Lyn is an accomplished artist who continues to push the boundaries of alternative digital printmaking. Her past playshops have included sessions at SIGGRAPH, an international conference on computer graphics, National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad, India, and in her own studio in Sunnyvale, CA.

She looks forward to sharing new techniques in digital printmaking with you. Sign up early as class size is limited to 12.
