ACHF Arts Access
If I receive funding from Arrowhead Regional Arts Council, I hope to improve my printmaking skills by practicing at home the three techniques I can perform on the E15 Etching Press. The techniques are dry point Intaglio, Relief, and Monotype. I will also gain skills in running a small printmaking studio by keeping it neat with proper storage such as the drying rack and maintaining all the equipment. I also hope to spread the love of printmaking in Northern Minnesota by showcasing my work at local art venues and online. I will evaluate my goals by completing 3 projects. One in dry point Intaglio, one in Relief, and one in Monotype. While I am doing these projects I will maintain my at home studio. Once I get my series of prints done I will try to show them at local art venues and upload them online. Beyond the time frame for the grant I will continue to create artwork on the E15 Etching Press for years to come.
Working printmaking studio space. 2 experimental projects with various stages. Outcomes that are planned for the near future: 1 to 2 planned printmaking activity in August with Girl Scouts and some residents from a group home. Showing their artwork in the International Falls Library from September-October 2016.
