So last Spring I took a printmaking course with Koichi Yamamoto at the University of Tennessee. Previous to the class, I had very little experience with printmaking. A good friend of mine, Maria, is a printmaker and she inspired me to try out the medium. Like ceramics, it is very process-oriented and there is always an element of surprise in the end.
I had so much fun during the course, that I asked Koichi if I could be his assistant at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts at the beginning of August for a workshop. He consented and we worked together with about 8 students furiously all week learning intaglio and relief processes. It was a wonderful experience.
Here are a few of my prints
