A creative, multimedia approach to enhancing old, abandoned prints can extend the life of unfinished prints.
New ways to continue working on old prints are demonstrated with the intention of taking risks in order to let go of judgment and results. Additional layers of paint, pen and ink, drawing, stamping, sewing, water-colored pencils, water-color crayons, and collage are encouraged.
The additions to your print need to be taken from your own work. Stamps need to be your own design. Please do not bring any decorative papers or magazines.
Class discussions and demonstrations center on methods and materials used in the creative process. The instructor and students are encouraged to offer material suggestions or share what they bring when appropriate.
This is not a formal class; instruction will not be given. We share techniques and our work.
Bring whatever materials you think you’ll want to supplement BARN materials listed. For example: acrylic paint, sumi inks, crayons, colored pencils, graphic pencils of a particular kind, scissors you like using, stencils, drawing pad, etc.

Virginia Davison - While she began her artistic career in college as a painter, she found her voice carving plaster by graduation. For the next 25 years, Virginia carved alabaster and marble and became an avid gardener, working the land around her two-acre parcel on Bainbridge. After her two kids graduated college, she reinvented herself again by taking classes at Pratt in collage and printmaking. Her years since 2007 have been devoted to these art forms. She has shown her work locally at the Bainbridge Library, Grace Church, Blackbird Bakery, the Big Art Studio on Day Road, and the BARN Bazaar.
