Printing...
A field with varieties!
The concept of "workshop" always reminds us of a family environment because beautiful works are achieved here together.
The Design Department printing techniques workshop is a warm environment where original prints are made. What is original is specific to the person, unique, one of a kind and bears traces of its era.
While we gain experience in the field with many companies that have commercial purposes (offset printing, digital printing, packaging industry etc.) within the scope of the printing techniques course, we use our workshop within the university for original printing. With our solution-oriented approach, instead of spreading flour on the rope, we prefer to use our multi-purpose rope to dry our works.
While singing the folk song "It's snowing high up, aren't you cold?", our next sincere conversations, we understand how the idiom "Being with one foot in the grave" adds to our work when we hold the plate in our hand.
It's not right to start straight. But we usually start with flat works. We use molds while making our designs. These patterns technically express the work we have done; in other words, our works take their names from their patterns. We transform high, indented and flat printing methods into works of art using different techniques. In essence, the works in our workshop are made according to their patterns.
Since we will apply different techniques for each method, the materials we will use in these techniques vary.
For example: If we are going to make a linocut, we use carving knives. We draw our design on the surface we will use as a mold, (we can do without drawing) we carve the areas we do not want to appear in the print and after coloring the parts that remain high, we carry this process to a different surface. If we are going to make a flat print, we can do completely abstract spotty works on a flat surface without creating any height or depression; or figurative, realistic works; we transfer our design to the surface where it will come to life. Brushes, inks, paints, thinners are indispensable for our work. Mold is parallel to reproducibility, which is the main element of graphic design.
These works done in a workshop environment require unity and togetherness. Workshop environments, which are at the forefront with the values of sharing and support, not only allow for works that are valuable in terms of art and design; they also turn into a warm environment where sincere and heartfelt sharing occurs.
We do not use stoves for heating. We achieve this due to the division of labor, togetherness and strong communication between us. Workshops are always the warmest environments of academies. If your faculty or college has any program in visual arts or applied fields, you will definitely be asked this question; do you have workshops?
Yes, we have a workshop.
Yes, it is actively used.
We are waiting for you all to make your original prints.
