Synopsis:
Trace the histories of extinct or near-extinct wildlife in this embossing and relief printing class.
Inspired by Rirkrit Tiravanija's Extinction series with STPI, create iridescent images of extinct or endangered species on paper surfaced with silver foil, using mark-making to form the raised outlines. These subtle impressions invites participants to reflect on the absence of these neglected lifeforms. The image can then be extended into print, by using the embossed surface as a relief printing plate.
Recommended for ages 12 and above.
