Monoprint, $65.00 - Sundays December 7th and 14th, 1pm-5pm

Monotype is a singular (mono) image taken from a plate that is drawn or painted on. It is a combination of printmaking and painting. The results are highly original and cannot be replicated in a different process. Monotype allows a lot of room for experimentation and play. It is a great process both for painters who would like to begin working with printmaking as well as printmakers who would like to use a looser and more direct technique of image making. Monotypes can be executed on a variety of surfaces including metal, plastic, varnished cardboard and plexiglass. The inks can be oil or water-based. The image will be executed on copper plates which will allow the introduction of drypoint as another means of mark making. The two session course will cover trace monotype, drawing with oil- based pigment sticks, painting with ink, stencils, offset of textures and drypoint. The plates will be printed by hand as well as on the press. Simple registration methods will be introduced for complex, multi-layered images. Sign Up!
