Etching / Printing Intaglio Printmaking Workshop (This Workshop is now full!)
Instructor: Professor Matt Egan, MFA Printmaking
Join us for a 90-minute printmaking adventure exploring intaglio! You’ll prep a zinc plate, turn your drawing into etched lines, ink it up, and run it through a real etching press. Create an image, process a plate, ink it, make multiples, and take home your finished prints. We’ll have some aprons, but wear studio-friendly clothes!
Green Screen Workshop
Instructor: Professor Erick Green, MFA
This hands-on Video Green Screen Workshop gives students a chance to step into a real video studio and try out professional film and video equipment. After a quick intro to lighting, cameras, and how green screens work, students will create short videos and fun portrait images. They’ll learn how to film, pose, and place themselves into different digital backgrounds. By the end of the workshop, everyone will go home with their own finished digital image—and some cool new studio skills.
