About

You'll explore two hands-on techniques — creating textured collagraph postcard prints and learning how to use clay as a medium for making plates to print with hair used to form unique, intricate designs.

You'll also learn a bit about the rich history of hair art, a tradition that flourished in the 19th century when people used hair to craft deeply personal mementos and keepsakes. This historical practice will be connected to modern art-making in a warm, welcoming environment.

You’ll leave with several designed prints that will serve as visual celebrations of your loved ones as well as the ability to make more with the plates you'll make in the class.

Details

  • Skill level: No experience required, just an interest in mixed media, printmaking, or exploring non-traditional materials in art.
  • You’ll leave with several designed prints that will serve as visual celebrations of your loved ones as well as the ability to make more with the plates you'll make in the class.

Details

  • A $15 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers the project essentials of clay, paper, UV resin, small plexiglass plates, and ink. It also covers the clay firing. 
  • You need to bring hair to use for the projects.

Class Policies

Ages 18 and up are welcome.
