About
This basic introduction to monotype printmaking includes how to properly condition and paint your ink onto the substrate, dampen your paper, and calibrate the press for beautiful painterly imagery.
Pochoir, a refined stencil technique, was popular from the late 19th century through the 1930s, especially in Paris.
You'll make several unique monotype prints using custom-made stencils, acrylic plates, and oil-based inks. The stencils you create will be of your own design, used in a variety of ways to layer colors and deepen the imagery. Oil-based inks will be used, so you'll be able create "drops" or layers of ink on one sheet of paper.
Throughout the day, you'll learn the history of monotype printing, watch demonstrations in a variety of techniques, and learn how to print using the press. The day ends with a show-and-tell of everyone's work.
