Robert Van de Peer

Join our Master Printmaker as he demonstrates the use of non-toxic methods for producing prints from copper plates. These methods are a replacement for the more noxious processes of the past and have changed the face of this medium in many ways. Using non-hazardous materials, participants will have the opportunity to explore continuous tonal washes and many other techniques that were not previously possible. Airbrush work and adhesive plastics are a part of this workshop's innovative capabilities.

Fee: $170 plus HST Member / $195 plus HST Non Member
