Instructor: Christopher Alday
This workshop is designed to help artists think differently about their prints and the ideation process in a welcoming environment, where failure is celebrated and dialogue sparks innovation. By following prompts, students quickly create a variety of 2D imagery that allows for imperfection and experimentation. Combining recently created prints, test prints, makeready and found imagery, students cut, tear, trade with others, and manipulate portions of existing collages to create new collages that expand the image-making process.
About the instructor: Christopher Alday is a Southern Californian Latinx who moved to the Midwest to study printmaking. He received a BFA in Print Paper Book from the Minneapolis College of Art of Design in 2013, was awarded the 2014-2015 Jerome Emerging Printmakers Residency hosted at Highpoint Center for Printmaking and 2017 Minnesota Center for Book Arts Summer Artist in Residency. He works primarily with screenprint and letterpress printing but has been known to make a collage or two in between print projects.
