Intaglio Final and Portfolio Exchange

Today was our final critique in the Intaglio printmaking class I took this semester. For our final project we had to make an edition of 18 identical prints (to exchange with all members of the class). The print had to include 3 processes we learned this semester and had to involve 2 or more plates. This was not an easy assignment!! I spent 3 full days printing in the studio and 2 days sewing onto my prints at home. Progress was slow, but I love printmaking so I didn't mind. I had so much fun in this class! The classes I always love are the ones that push me the most.

Taadaa! My final product. I am pretty happy with how it turned out, I had some other things in mind to do with it, but I think it came out ok. So much more graphic than I was intending though. Fun and different is never bad I guess!
Here are some of my favorites by other members of the class...
Lindsay LaMonica
Kristina Runyan
Jackie Lindmark
Angela Nimmo
Olivia Timmons

And last but not least, our professor, Mary Hood.

You are such a bad a--! A printmaker too? I never took printmaking in school, but I was always in the print studio visiting Gretchen.
