Printmaking without a Press will introduce you to a painterly printing technique known as monoprinting. Monoprints get their name because you make one individual print at a time; a method that offers a lot of opportunity for experimentation through process. You will be working in both additive (adding paint) and subtractive (removing paint) methods. Techniques covered include direct tracing (drawing on the back of paper on a pre-inked surface); stencils and masking (using stencils to block sections of a print) and grattage (paper is laid over a textured surface and the ink is scraped over a surface). The final images may be augmented with additional acrylic paints or mixed media techniques. If you love experimenting with material to create surprising effects, this workshop is for you! All supplies included. SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 10AM - 4:30PM IN-PERSON
