Additional Information:  From Rocking to Rolling: An Introduction to Mezzotint
A 3-day Intensive Workshop with Art Werger
June 26 - 28, 2026  (Friday - Sunday)
Friday, 6 - 10 PM - Public Demo & Artist Talk
Saturday, 10 AM - 5 PM - Workshop
Sunday, 10 AM - 5 PM - Workshop
Early Registration Deadline: May 26, 2026
Final Registration Deadline: June 25, 2026
This workshop introduces intaglio printmaking through mezzotint, a centuries-old process known for its rich, velvety tonal range—unlike any other black-and-white medium. Currently experiencing a renewed interest among contemporary printmakers, mezzotint offers a direct and highly tactile approach to image-making.
Participants will work through the full process, from preparing and rocking the copper plate to inking and printing. As a non-acid method of intaglio, mezzotint provides a safer alternative to traditional etching while maintaining a high level of technical and visual sophistication.
The workshop will cover core techniques including plate preparation, rocking, scraping, burnishing, and the use of roulettes, along with printing procedures and ink handling. Emphasis will be placed on value, tonal structure, and the development of imagery through light and dark.
Open to both beginners and more experienced artists, this workshop is ideal for those interested in expanding their understanding of printmaking through a focused, process-driven approach. Participants are encouraged to bring drawings, sketches, photographs, or other source material to work from.
About the Artist
Art Werger is widely recognized as a master of intaglio printmaking, working primarily in etching and mezzotint. His prints construct cinematic, narrative spaces that position the viewer as an omniscient observer—often from elevated or oblique vantage points—resulting in images that are at once voyeuristic and deeply intimate. Through careful control of tone, Werger builds his compositions from black to white, gradually illuminating both the image and its implied narrative. His work invites interpretation, encouraging viewers to project their own experiences and memories into scenes that remain deliberately unresolved.
Over a career spanning more than five decades, Werger has exhibited extensively in national and international venues, receiving over 250 awards. Notable honors include the International Printmaking Prize at the Guanlan International Printmaking Biennial in China and the Grand Prize at the International Mezzotint Festival in Ekaterinburg, Russia. His work is held in major collections including the Smithsonian Institution, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Boston Public Library, among others.
Werger is Professor Emeritus of Ohio University, where he served as Chair of Printmaking and Foundations Chair. Prior to that, he taught for eighteen years at Wesleyan College in Georgia as Division Chair of Fine Arts. He received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and his MFA from the University of Wisconsin.
Widely regarded as one of the most prolific artists working in mezzotint, Werger has produced over 500 prints in the medium. He continues his studio practice at Cascade Press in Athens, Ohio.

Additional Information:  K I N H O U S E
“Kin” speaks to one’s sense of belonging—whether inherited or chosen, rooted in blood or built through friendship. It represents the people we create a life with.
“House” evokes not only a physical dwelling, but also the body, a sense of place, and an intentional space for comfort, intimacy, and safety. For this exhibition, we are seeking work that reflects the spirit of our name, “Kinhouse.” 
We invite artists to respond to one or both of these ideas, exploring themes of belonging, grounding, connection, and rootedness—whether on a personal or collective level. Submissions that engage with the domestic sphere, caregiving, heritage, place, legacy, and community are especially encouraged.
We’re excited to announce our annual open call at Kinhouse Gallery, juried this year by  Braydee Euliss! We’re honored to have Braydee bring her perspective to this year’s selections and can’t wait to see the range of work submitted.
All submissions will be considered for the In-person Exhibition and Extended Catalog
All submissions will be considered for our in-person exhibition at Kinhouse Gallery and for our extended Kinhouse Exhibition Catalog. Our Kinhouse exhibition catalog is a published book featuring the work of the artists selected for the in-person expedition and an extended additional selection of artworks that we want to highlight as speaking to this open call. The curators statement and thoughts are included in the catalog, along with high-quality images of the selected artworks addressing the theme of Kinhouse.
About the juror:
Braydee Euliss is an Indianapolis-based arts and culture practitioner with experience in curation, artist advocacy, arts administration, nonprofit leadership, and as an artist herself. Her curatorial and consulting work examines the interdependence between artists and institutions across public, private, and nonprofit sectors. For nearly twenty years, she has worked with objects, spaces, and frameworks to explore the often inconspicuous ways they hold us up and hold us back. She is the Founder of COMPANION, a gallery and gathering space launched in 2021.
Housed in her midtown Indianapolis home, COMPANION presents small solo, group, and concept-based projects to support and steward the curiosities and connections of a new, Midwestern creative class. Interdisciplinary projects and gatherings to deepen understandings of the materials, processes, and histories that inform artists and their practices, as well as bridge needless distances between individual practitioners, their art forms, and their audiences. Exhibiting art and design objects in a relatable, domestic environment makes for an intimate and accessible experience—modeling how to live with and celebrate artwork in everyday ways and encouraging more knowledgeable and intentional art patronage. COMPANION has presented 15 distinct projects, including 6 solo exhibitions, 4 large-group exhibitions, and a project titled Indiana Beach, produced in collaboration with Sugarspace Productions, Storage Space Gallery, and 60 artists for Miami Art Week 2022.
In addition to the gallery program, COMPANION is the lens through which Euliss provides curatorial and consulting services to area public, private, and nonprofit entities. Those partners and collaborators include Merritt Chase, the Indiana Arts Commission, GANGGANG, 16 Tech, Indiana University Health, Mid-South Sculpture Alliance, and more. Previous roles include Director of Curatorial Affairs (2023) and curatorial team lead (2021-2022) for BUTTER Fine Art Fair; Executive Director at Muncie Arts & Culture Council (2017-2019) and Indianapolis Contemporary (2020-2020), and co-creator of PlySpace, an artist-in-residence program in Muncie, Indiana. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the School of Art at Ball State University.
