Fairfield Art Association is Announces a Linoleum Printmaking Class with Fairfield artist John Schirmer
This is the first class in the FFA's new "ART ACADEMY" program planned by the FAA Board's Education Committee.
John has been a printmaker for 40 years, specializing in wood block prints. “I attended art fairs all over the country receiving many awards. I have carved prints in linoleum, how- ever I prefer wood because of my natural friend- ship with wood. I have carved for the furniture industry including Baker Furniture, carved wooden signs and sculpture – Mr. & Mrs. Santa Clause for Fairfield’s Christmas display. Printmakers are very enthusiastic about paper - I use an Italian paper called Rosapenna Cream. I use an oil base ink which produces a rich deep color. After printing the black, I hand color each print using watercolor & gouache, an opaque water-based color."
There will be 5 sessions on Saturdays in MAY from 10AM – Noon in the FAA STUDIO in FACC.
The fee of $125 includes All Materials.
John will lecture & demo, and participants will Work on their own print.
The class is for adults at all artistic levels from beginner to experienced.
Class size will be limited so preregister soon at FAA Studio (T-F 1-5PM) Or Email Suzan1252@aol.com
