Description
Monotype is a great way to initiate a printmaking practice: it requires no acid andno carving. Some monotype techniques don’t even require a press. This workshop introduces stencils, ghost printing, and a monotype drawing technique called tracemonotype. Trace Monotype: The Hard Line explores a non-painterly methodology tomaking unique, one-of-a-kind prints: using line, hard edges, transparency, and layered passages of color.Enjoy the visual vocabulary of drawing, printing both by hand and on the press,working intuitively or intentionally, making abstract or representational imagery, todevelop a body of works on Asian paper. Demonstrations include ink modification, trace monotype, stencil printing, counter-proofing, ghost printing, flats, and blend rolls. Create complex, engaging works that can stand on their own or initiate collages, mixed mediaworks, and printstallation.
