Chong And Judi
A native of Seoul, Korea, Chong received a BFA in Painting and printmaking from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. After graduation, he worked for a die-making company in Massachusetts for 7 years. Combining die-making with his painting and printmaking skills he opened his own company, Island Designs, together with his wife, Judi after moving to Great Cranberry Island in Maine. They began embossing Chong's designs on note cards, later expanding their products to include larger embossed watercolor paintings and embossed copper designs in several sizes.
Island Designs
Chong received a BFA in painting and printmaking from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Following graduation, he worked for a Massachusetts company making embossing and hot stamping dies for several years. Combining his die-making experience with his art training he moved to Maine and opened Island Designs to produce his own designs embossed on paper and copper. To accomplish this, he draws a design, then carves it in reverse into a 1/4" thick brass or magnesium flat plate, using self-made chisels, to make an embossing "die" He casts fiberglass into the (concave) die to create a convex image. Judi attaches the metal die to a heat plate on their 1929 converted letterpress with the counter opposite on the press platen. The metal die is heated and a paper or copper sheet is pressed between the die and counter to produce a raised design. Color is added to the paper with watercolor, brush pen, pastel and roll leaf. Patina, flame painting and oil pastel are used to color the copper
