Printmaking Workshop: Botanical Monotypes (In Person)

Course description

Roll slabs of colorful ink onto plates, arrange plant materials, add damp paper and run it through the press to create dramatic monotype prints. Students may continue to add more materials to create layered prints or start fresh with a new monoprint. The results are surprising and unexpected, inspiring more ideas. Learn about mixing and rolling out inks, basic color theory, the concept of pochoir, or stencil, the flexibility of composition, and the strengths and uses of different papers. The process is fun for everyone from beginners to experienced artists. Students come away with a collection of beautiful botanical monotypes. / Materials fee of $26 and facility fees of $26 included in tuition.
