New Methods: Silk Aquatint Monoprints PR05SU10
Instructor: Roxanne Faber-Savage
Thursday mornings, 10:00-2:00 (June 24-July 29)
Are you looking for an entirely new surface upon which to create monoprints? Using a silk aquatint plate as the matrix, participants will experience the lush and resilient surface it provides while creating images with simple drawing tools and inks. Both traditional and non-traditional silk aquatint processes will be demonstrated. Participants will focus on the process of directly drawing onto the plate with ebony pencil and caran d’ache crayon. Then plate is inked, carded, and wiped, like a metal intaglio plate and finally is printed with an etching press. You will marvel at the directness of image making, the brilliance of color that is achieved, and the wide variety of lines that transfer from the silk onto your paper. For all levels of experience, this low-tech process is great for those who love to draw and experiment, and it lends itself to making prints based on a theme. Non-toxic and water based inks will be used throughout the course.
Six sessions: $250; members: $225
