Workshop No. 1 – Linocut with Marta Baumiller
June 13th and 14th
Our linocut workshop is an invitation to learn about this unique printmaking method and its possibilities. Utilizing traditional carving techniques, we will be working with linoleum to put a contemporary twist on the classic medium of printmaking.
We will use line, shape, pattern, and repetition to begin to understand layering in relief. Using water-based inks we will learn about viscosity and develop layers to create a series of one-of-a-kind prints on various substrates such as cotton rag, rice paper, or even newspaper and fabric.
This 2-day workshop is suitable for artists with any degree of experience with printmaking. All materials will be provided.

Workshop No. 2 – Painting and Mixed Media with Adam Straus
June 28th and 29th.
Adam will introduce the artist to contemporary methods of image making. This workshop will start with charcoal drawing, progress through image transfer techniques, and use photos and various materials to expand the artist’s vocabulary.
With an emphasis on experimentation and freedom, Straus will take you on a journey of discovery and exploration. All this takes place in the historic Prellwitz studio at High House established in 1911 on Peconic Bay.
Adam Straus is known for his majestic and luminous depictions of the sublime in his paintings, which are often saturated with a deep concern about social and environmental issues. His penetrating dark humor can transport the viewer to post-apocalyptic worlds and often offers a wry observation on how humans have altered the natural landscape. Work by Straus is in numerous museum collections including the Parrish Art Museum, Bridgehampton, NY; Guild Hall Museum, East Hampton, NY; List Visual Center, M.I.T., Cambridge, MA. Straus lives and works in Riverhead, NY.
