VIRTUAL DEMO: Stone Lithography

10 a.m.–12 p.m.—Saturday, October 24, 2020

Watch as Art and Design Associate Professor Nick Satinover draws, processes, and prints a stone lithograph in multiple colors. Nick will modify the stone several times to create a layered image from one stone. Lithography is a printmaking process first discovered in 1798, which is still utilized today to produce fine art prints and an untold number of commercially printed products. Prints are made by drawing on a piece of flattened limestone, treated with chemicals, and rolled with ink. Unlike most other printmaking processes, the drawing of a lithograph is directly on the printing surface and does not create a surface change. The result is a tonal image featuring every nuance of drawing from the artist’s hand. Visit Nick at http://nicksatinover.com/

The Body - Narrative, Ornamentation and Conceptualization

1:30–4 p.m.—Saturday, October 24, 2020

Art and Design Ceramics Lecturer Kelsey Duncan will guide participants by composing and sculpting the narrative figure in clay. Utilizing a coil and pinch construction method, Duncan will demonstrate how to create a life-like portrait by altering a simple hallow vessel into a dynamic human form. Focusing on stylized realism, Duncan will introduce options for bringing the piece to life through added layers of concept specific ornamentation, underglaze washes, and a dynamic glaze finish.
