Monotype Workshop in Falmouth
Shifting Priorities 12x12" monoprint 2009
Abstract Monotype/Monoprint
Falmouth Art Center
January 16 -18, 2010
Explore abstract shapes and textures with contemporary printmaking
techniques. Spontaneous painting and drawing approaches are
applied to flat or textured plates and transferred to paper with a single
pass of the press. Glistening layers of radiant oil ink create
truly unique images with depth, mystery, or veils of memory and
possibilities. Beginners will be rewarded with magical surprises.
There will be daily demonstrations along with individual discussion
of work in progress. The instructor will bring large rollers, including
“Big Bertha”. Lab fee includes inks and basic supplies.

Etching Workshop in Falmouth
|
Non-Toxic Etching
Using copper plates and non-toxic techniques, various approaches to hard ground, drypoint, aquatint and spit bite will create tone, texture and line. The intaglio lines and marks in the copper plate retain ink, and are carefully wiped and printed on dampened paper with an etching press. Students will create a small learning plate, then a larger plate to transfer an image to additional color plates. They will learn how to hand wipe the plate, register and print proofs, and begin a small edition. Lab fee includes basic supplies. |
