We'll begin with the basics of the most painterly and spontaneous of all printmaking techniques. We will use water-based or oil-based inks to paint and draw directly onto plexiglass or other plates, then run them through a printmaking press to transfer our images onto paper. Then we'll experiment with stencils, crayons and textures using a variety of materials. If you have previous experience, use wood cut, linocut or other printmaking media to make monoprints. We will also explore silk screen monotype, chine colle, and paper lithography techniques to enhance your work.
