Botanical Printmaking with Glass
We will use Pilchuck Glass School’s natural environment as a reference to create vitreograph plates to be sent through a press and printed on printmaking paper. Students will leave with a portfolio of Pacific Northwest- themed fine art prints - inked by hand and printed using an etching press - and a new way of thinking about glass as a matrix.
Nikki Jabbora - Barber (she/her), a gay Seattle-based printmaker and teaching artist, was born in Bellingham, WA to a Lebanese-German mother and Anglo-Swedish father. Her work focuses on her mixed-race identity, centuries of storytelling, and womanhood through symbolic depictions of herself, flora, and fauna.
