Picture the color of Tuscany. Changing hues from dawn to dusk. Rolling landscapes of yellow ochre and verde fields accented by vermillion, poppy, terra-cotta. Siena and umber earth. White-washed medieval architecture surrounded by century-old olive groves. Sepia pasta with porcini fired over the grill, that golden oil which is at times lime or pure molten ore. Picture timeless beauty.
Immerse your senses in these colors of Tuscany with printmaker and teacher Shelley Thorstensen in the nine day workshop, Color into Print, offered by Women's Studio Workshop during the summer of 2013 held at Antica Tenuta Le Casacce, Tuscany. Explore, expand and deepen your vision, inspired by how the Tuscan palette resonates uniquely with you.
Color into Print
Shelley Thorstensen
Designed to activate and accelerate your interpretation of color, Color into Print will generate momentum in your entire art-making practice. The focus is on color monoprint, drypoint, collograph, and simple polyester plate lithography, each printed in concert of the full complement of color options, including layered surfaces, chine-collé , and viscosity printing. This is precise, yet, juicy printmaking tailored to the needs of each participant. This is a low-stress, high reward workshop. Leave with a record of your color journey in Tuscany.
