Pratt is proud to announce a new Professional Artist in Residence (PAiR) program. The PAiR program provides access to studios and technical support for up to two artists a year. This allows professional artists time to develop artwork through the use of the diverse and specialized equipment at Pratt. Pratt is pleased to welcome artist Scott Fife as the second participant. Scott will spend a month using Pratt’s studios to interpret and develop his work into glass, cast iron, bronze, and other materials not readily available to him in his own studio. Scott has been exhibiting his sculpture and drawings since 1976 in galleries in Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles and Vancouver, BC and in museums including the Frye Museum (Seattle), the Tacoma Art Museum, the Boise Art Museum, and Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture (Spokane). His work was included in the 2008 Art on Paper Biennial at the Weatherspoon Museum of Art in Greensboro, NC. The Missoula Art Museum, Montana hosted a solo show of his work in the winter of 2010, and one of his sculptures was included in the Seattle Art Museum exhibition “Kurt” in the spring of 2010. His work has been written about in the Winter 2010 issue of “Sculpture Review” magazine. His next solo show at Platform Gallery opens May 19, 2011. Scott lives and works in Seattle. www.platformgallery.com/ artist_pages/Fife/Fife_main.html

Come ready with sketches and ideas. Registration and ink modification will be taught, and if time permits, photolithography will be discussed. Prerequisite: Printmaking Fundamentals
This course is an introduction on how to use polyester lithographic plates as well as solarplates in order to incorporate photographic elements into your work. Both processes offer different and unique ways to develop photographic, collage, and drawn imagery. Images can be editioned, utilized as components of monotypes, or integrated into mixed media pieces. Knowledge of Photoshop is not required, but is a plus. You should bring sketches, ideas, and digital images to experiment and work with. Prerequisite: Printmaking Fundamentals

Workshop: Lithography Fundamentals
NEW Workshop: Non-Toxic Photographic Printmaking
printmaking
Based upon traditional lithography, paper lithography is a non-toxic method of transferring images from the common photocopy using oil-based ink onto paper. Unlike other transfer methods, paper lithography allows you to use color and texture. This can then be combined with intaglio, relief, monotype, and collograph prints. This is great for image and text! Prerequisite: None

THE CHAIR AUCTION Pratt has partnered with the Seattle Design Center to undertake a project pairing the creativity of artists and designers to create unique, unexpected versions of an everyday household item: the chair. Each team started with the bones of a chair provided by Chicago furniture maker Baker, which they altered to express their collaborative vision. The chairs are making their way around the city and can currently be seen on display at McCaw Hall. They will end their journey on August 19th when they will be auctioned off with proceeds benefiting Pratt. Artists participating in the project include Laura Ward, Steve Jensen, Chris McMullen, Larry Calkins, Tom DeGroot, Piper O’Neill, Romson Bustillo, Brian Murphy, Jared Rue and Judith Kindler. Artwork by participating artists is featured in a group show at the Seattle Design Center through August 2011. Steven Jensen

Enrolled students have priority over independent users. Studio space and tools are limited, and sharing them is expected of all users. The Studio Monitor has the authority to determine tool and space sharing, in addition to overseeing proper and safe use of tools and studio. If there is no monitor present, the studio is not open to students. We do not guarantee that every Friday will be available due to holidays, events, maintenance and Pratt activities. Supplies and materials are limited on Free Fridays and will be administered by the monitor working that day.
Adding Classes: Students may add classes to an existing registration by calling 206.328.2200 x0 or online at www.pratt.org. Waiting Lists: If a class is full the student will be placed on a waitlist. If space becomes available in a class, waitlisted students will be offered the space in sequential order and contacted by phone or e-mail. Please do not attend the first session unless you have been contacted by Pratt. If paying with a credit card, no charges are assessed until the student is placed in a class. Payments by cash or check from waitlisted students will be refunded when the class starts if the student is unable to join the waitlisted class. Withdrawals and Refunds: If Pratt cancels a class or significantly alters a class a full refund will be issued unless the student decides to be placed in an alternate class. In order to withdraw from a class voluntarily students must submit a signed drop form to the front desk. Drop forms may be submitted by US Mail, e-mail, or fax, but must clearly bare the student’s signature. Students who withdraw from a class at least ten days prior to its first meeting will receive a full tuition refund less the drop fee. The $15 drop fee is associated with withdrawing from a class. Please note that the $15 processing fee is not part of tuition and therefore is not refundable. Refunds will be issued within 14 business days from the date of PA G E 1 O F 2
Master Member registration April 10–17
Missed Classes: There are no discounts or refunds for missed classes.
Processing Fee: There is a non-refundable $15 per class processing fee for all students at Pratt enrolling in workshops or classes. Pratt refunds this fee only when Pratt cancels or significantly alters a class or workshop. Drop Fee: There is a $15 drop fee for each class dropped at any point during registration. The fee is subtracted from any refund due to the student. The drop fee is charged when a tuition refund is due to the student. The fee does not apply to students who add one class for each dropped class in a given quarter. Class Cancellations: All classes not meeting their minimum enrollment one week prior to their start date may be cancelled. Pratt calls all affected students to explore placement in alternate classes.
