Monotype is a printmaking technique that produces one of a kind images. This workshop will focus on the botanical world as the print surface and subject. Explore color, layering, and stencil creation using oil-based inks and an etching press to transfer designs. Everyone will leave the class with a number of unique prints. Important note regarding materials preparation prior to class: participants should select leaves, ferns, flowers, grasses, and barks that have interesting shapes and textures. Place your findings between the pages of a newsprint pad to press to flatten them a bit and pull out excess moisture about 24 hours before the class.
