Opening reception:
Dec. 11th from 1:00 to 3:00
The Jewish Community Center
1125 College Ave
Bexley, Ohio

Artist Statement:

My work is a record of current events that grab my heart. I cheer for the women in the Mideast countries who have the courage to protest for their rights in the public squares. My heart breaks for the soldiers who give their lives to fight wars, and for the parents who bury them. I get angry at corporations that allow oil to pollute our waters and kill birds, fish, plants and people. The horrors we perpetuate go on and on, I try to draw attention to them.
Joan Judith Tallan.

It is with great delight and excitement that Phoenix Rising Printmaking Cooperative announces its upcoming move to a new, bigger, better studio space.

As of December 1, 2011 our new address will be:
243 North Fifth St., Suite 140
Columbus, OH 43215

This wonderful opportunity is a result of the success of our March fundraiser, Art Under Pressure, and the generosity of all those who participated in it.  We are so grateful for the support we received.  After much searching and planning, we are very pleased to have found our new home that will better suit our needs and those of the people we serve.

Once the co-op members have settled in and set the studio into working order, we will host an Open House and invite the public to visit the new facility.

Below are a few photos of the space which is currently under construction.

Summer Workshops

Summer Workshops:

Explore Printmaking this Summer!

Workshops for Beginner Printers and Experienced Printers are available throughout the summer.

Watercolor Monoprint Workshop

Saturday, June 25 from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
at Phoenix Rising Printmaking Studio
by Cindy Davis
Artist Member of Phoenix Rising

Horse Monotype

Cat Monotype

This class provides an easy way to transform a favorite photo into an original work of art. Bring an 8-1/2" x 11" color image that we will place under a plexiglass plate. After tracing a few outlines with a crayon, you simply fill in areas with watercolor, and then print the plate on our press. The vibrant colors and lacy white lines of your print may have a different character from your original image, but it's easy to capture the charm of a summer moment in a print you will enjoy making. The result is an exciting new piece, not a copy of your photo.

This simple method is ideal for first-time printers and anyone who wants a fast-track to creativity without the tedium of drawing. Great fun for kids! Bring a snack and a couple of letter-sized photos.

$35 per participant, includes all materials. Adults and children over 12 Children under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. Reservations are required. Space is limited.

Upcoming Workshops:

Back to the Bite - Etching

This 6-session workshop series will concentrate on the basics of etching, an intaglio printmaking process with lines and textures incised (with acid and/or tools) in metal, inked and printed on damp paper with an etching press. Drypoint, acid-resist grounds, aquatint and inking strategies will provide opportunities to explore and combine varying techniques in the same print.

The workshop will be summer fun for artists new to the process and for those who wish to review and brush up on elementary etching methods.

Tuesday and Thursdays, July 19 & 21; 26 & 28; August 2 & 4.
Time:  9:30 am - 12:30 pm
Cost:  $200, materials included.

History

Phoenix Rising Printmaking Cooperative opened in September 1998. From its beginning the studio was equipped with a Takach etching press, a Vandercook relief press and materials to accommodate a variety of printmaking techniques.

Since then the studio has been extensively remodeled and updated. Phoenix Rising now includes a second etching press and work tables so that more printmakers can work at the same time.

Phoenix Rising's artist members offer a variety of workshops and classes that highlight their particular skills and guest artists are invited to give special presentations. The artists of Phoenix Rising provide outreach programs demonstrating and teaching printmaking techniques in a variety of venues - public and private schools, art groups, colleges, artist's residencies, in-service workshops, etc.

 

The member pages are currently under construction. We will have individual portfolios and short biographies soon! Thank you for your patience.

Why a Fundraiser?

Phoenix Rising Printmaking Cooperative opened its doors in 1998 in a storefront on Parsons Avenue. It has provided a well-equipped studio facility for both the experienced and beginner printmaker. We are dedicated to enriching the visual arts experience of Columbus and the surrounding area through education and exploration of the printmaking media.

Artists, students, schools, art groups and the community at large have been welcomed to our printmaking classes, workshops, demonstrations, exhibitions, and outreach programs. Our current aim is to expand by moving to a larger studio space where we can increase our printmaking capabilities and offer more art opportunities for a growing circle of participants. We are ready to go forward!

Phoenix Rising applied for and received non-profit tax exempt status in 2010.  We are eager to start the next step in our growth.  Art Under Pressure is our first fundraising event as a 501(c)(3) organization and we hope you will come, have fun and contribute to the  success.

Thank you from the Phoenix Rising Printmaking Members
