Explore printmaking through print sessions, workshops, and special events
Print Sessions, with monthly Process Spotlights, ensure that anyone, from those new to printmaking to advanced printers, are able to bring their project to fruition.
Artist-led Workshops offer bespoke opportunities to explore a new skill or process alongside a contemporary artist who incorporate printmaking materials or processes into their artistic practice.
Occassional special events round out the calendar and ensure that there are plenty of opportunities to visit, learn, and print at Campfire Printing Press.
Drop in any Wednesday between 5 and 7pm to see the studio and talk about project ideas.
Color Theory Screenprinting with Kate McQuillen
Kate McQuillen skillfully entwines the processes, materials, and traditions of printmaking and painting. Working on large-scale panels—typically around five feet tall—she builds up layers of translucent inks which imbue a sense of time and memory in her work. This layered approach also results in subtle blends of luscious colors.
We’ve invited Kate to Chicago to share her method for building color and color relationships through layering. Through a prepared screenprinting project, participants will explore how color theory principles come to life in print.
