Innovative Approaches to Monotype
Weekend workshop
In this special class, Mary will push you to experiment with many different monotype techniques! Monotypes are one-of-a-kind prints made by applying (and removing) inks with a paintbrush or a roller to a polymer plate and then printing the image onto paper. Additional layers can be created by applying another element to the plate and passing it through the press one or more times, resulting in rich, layered, complex prints. Inks can be wiped and scratched off, dotted on, applied or blocked with stencils and more. We invite the experienced and the inexperienced to join us in this creative, wild journey into the nearly infinite possibilities of monotypes…

Mokuhanga Printmaking
$129.45
Mokuhanga Printmaking
One-Day Workshop
Saturday December 15th
This class will be an introduction to Japanese Mokuhanga printing. This type of printing involves relief printing, stencil printing, and wood grain printing.
The paper used is washi and rice paper-thin Asian paper known for unique texture.
Japanese Mokuhanga printing is one of the oldest types of printmaking combing relief, stencils and wood grain. Images are transferred from the carved block to both sides of uniquely textured Asian washi paper using a hand-held tool called a baren. The earliest types of prints in China using this method were Buddhist prints; Mokuhanga printing was used to substitute laborious copying of texts and images.

The collagraph is a wonderfully affordable printmaking technique- all you need is mat board, textured items and glue to create fabulous textured prints. In this workshop participants will learn how to make collagraphs that can be printed immediately (no waiting!) and how to ink them using transparency and viscosity techniques. We will print our plates on the press and by hand as well- making this technique easily adaptable to the classroom or a home studio without a press.) We will add monotype and stencils to the mix in aim of creating richly layered, textured, one-of-a-kind prints. No experience necessary!

This comprehensive 2 day mixed media printmaking workshop will explore the process of combining digital inkjet transfers and traditional printmaking techniques such as monoprint, drypoint , etching and chine collé,linocut and collagraph. We will also explore printing digital images directly on printmaking paper then printing traditional plates over these images. Each student will learn the alcohol gel transfer process and experiment with creating layered prints by adding images from traditional printmaking plates. These unique layered prints can be further altered with mixed media processes. This integrative process will produce exciting one of a kind prints.
Some knowledge of printmaking and Photoshop helpful. You will need to bring collage materials, drawing materials and photographic digital images on a thumb drive and any printmaking plates you would like to use. We will have monotype plates available.
