About
Create a series one-of-a-kind prints in this multi-media extravaganza! You'll learn the art of monotype printmaking in which oil-based inks are applied to a plexiglass plate and run through the press to transfer the image to the paper. You'll also explore incorporating a variety of techniques to add interesting elements to your prints, including but not limited to:
- Chine collé: A technique in which you glue/collage pieces of paper into your larger print using the press.
- Image transfer: Transferring an image printed using a toner onto your print. Laser printers and most photocopy machines use toner.
- Hand coloring: Painting and drawing directly onto prints to enhance them.
Throughout the day, students will learn the history of monotype and watch demonstrations of numerous techniques.
Details
- Skill level: All. For beginners, it's a good introduction to working with the press. For those with printmaking experience, it provides a wide range of multi-media techniques to build skills.
- You're welcome to bring design ideas to class. Our prints will be 8 inches by 10 inches, or 9 inches by 12 inches.
- You're encouraged to bring images printed using toner from a laser printer or photocopy machine that you'd like to transfer onto your print.
