Jump Start Etching
July 6 to July 11, 2025
Time 9 am - 12 pm
Intermediate/Advanced
In this Master Printer Series workshop, participants will get far into the etching process by transferring drawings from clear films to copper plates coated with a photosensitive resist. Once the plates are processed photographically and etched into the plates, they can be developed further by using traditional etching techniques. Photo-copper plates will be available from... more

Multimedia Experiments
July 6 to July 11, 2025

Through experiments with the unfamiliar... more

Mixing It Up: The Hybrid Text
July 6 to July 11, 2025
Time 9 am - 12 pm
Open To All
Hybridity involves mixing genres and even media (text and visuals). Is this inclination where you find yourself, or a realm that you’d like to explore? In this generative workshop, we begin each day with examples to use as prompts. You can expect to write new material, to rip up old stuff, and even research random-seeming... more

Poetic Time
July 6 to July 11, 2025
Time 9 am - 12 pm
Open To All
Some poems are forever—and readers usually attribute this ‘permanence’ to equating the emotions of the poet/speaker with those of their own. What if the permanence has nothing to do with the poet’s emotion at all but is, instead, a feature of their technical craft? In this workshop, we will explore texts by poets such as... more

Feeling Out of Place
July 6 to July 11, 2025
Time 9 am - 12 pm
