About

Beginners and continuing printmakers, during this daytime course of 3 sessions (one per week), will learn and practice the basic skills needed for mixing ink, using the press, and sharing the studio with other printmakers, as well as practicing the techniques used in monotype, which is the manipulation of ink on a smooth plate to create a single, unique image.  This course is a thorough immersion into monotype and is a great value: it works out to $15/hr for 12 hours of instruction.

This class is for:
