During lockdown the teachers at Artist Proof Studio had to come up with print processes their students could do at home with readily available materials. They turned to the ordinary potato, fallen leaves and bits of charcoal to explore printmaking in its most basic form. In the hands of talented artists, even these unassuming materials can be made into exciting prints. APS teacher Ilse Pahl demonstrates how to use these found materials in conjunction with existing ephemera (old book pages, misprints, etc). A no-press, kitchen table process that can be done at home! Nico Ras, a graduate student at University of Johannesburg and frequent guest teacher at Artist Proof also demonstrates a technique that uses charcoal dust and an exposed silkscreen to create delicate, ethereal monotypes.
