Monotype Printmaking: The Painterly Print Process

THIS CLASS HAS BEEN SOLD OUT

Come and playfully learn the basics of a low tech and innovative painterly printmaking
process called monotype. Monotypes are unique prints made by the direct transfer of an
image. This easily accessible medium allows both novices and experienced artists of all
ages to create finished images in relatively few steps.

In this hands-on experience, workshop participants will develop an understanding of
fundamental printmaking terms, materials, and inking techniques using oil-based inks
with non-toxic clean-up. We will focus on both spontaneous and methodical
approaches to the medium. Demonstrations will include the use of the etching press,
printing by hand, and experimentation with textures and collage materials.
In a relaxed atmosphere, with support and encouragement, you will realize your own
personal artistic intent and expression of ideas and images.

All levels welcomed!
