This class will cover a range of printmaking techniques including monotypes, monoprints, collagraph printing, drypoint etching, and linoleum pattern making.
Students will delve into the contemporary lineage of printmaking through weekly presentations and instructional demonstrations, followed by hands-on print making using traditional and unconventional tools. We will create small, printed editions on paper and unique prints using experimental substrates like found/personal materials and fabric. Join us to experiment, cultivate a deeper connection with your artistic expression, and learn new approaches to print making!
Open to artists of all levels – no experience required. All supplies provided.

Nicholas D’Ornellas (b. 1997) is a Guyanese-born printmaker and weaver based in Jersey City, NJ. He holds a BFA (2021) from The Cooper Union for The Advancement of Science and Art. His focus includes printmaking as a vehicle to explore domestic life within immigrant narratives through life-sized, handwoven, screen-printed textiles. Nick’s work pays homage to his ongoing interest in the functionality of craft and also his family’s flight from racial and classist violence in Guyana. He physically threads together the layered emotions that come with being within a deeply consuming family structure. Nick’s hand weaving can be understood as both rehearsal and transformation of memory.
