Workshop Description: Come explore the directness of monotype printmaking in this short introductory workshop. Using non-toxic inks, participants will learn about the tools and techniques of monotype by exploring both additive and reductive mark making. Starting with a brief introduction to the history of monotypes, artists will get to create a suite of prints by exploring color, texture, multiple layers as well as “ghost prints.” Each participant will get some individual attention to discuss methods for translating their ideas into monotypes.
