This comprehensive workshop will introduce you to one of the most liberating forms of printmaking, with an emphasis on experimentation and creativity. Learn to create innovative one-of-a-kind prints using drawing, painting and collage. Explore color mixing, brushwork, ghost images, chine colle, stencils and unique tools to create unique prints. We will pull highly developed monotypes by hand and with the aid of a press.

*This class uses only Akua Water-based non-toxic inks.

Monotype @ LESP Spring/Summer 2011

I'm currently teaching a Monotype class at the Lower East Side Printshop (in Midtown). Once again a wonderful group of enthusiastic artists is taking the course. Below are images from last week's class.

Tazeene is creating a suite of prints using two stencils of the Manhattan grid.

She's created many effects by printing the same shapes in different ways.

Bindu cutting out shapes that have been treated with dry-mount adhesive.

She found all kinds of paper ephemera at a flea market.

Heidi contemplates a print she just pulled. The print is on the right, the plate with leftover ink on the left.

Gold leaf stuck to the plate and did not adhere to the paper as planned.
Fear not! Heidi will figure out a way to make this work.

Heidi figuring out which collage elements to integrate into her prints.

Heidi's big pile-o-prints.

Monotype Workshop at LESP in nyc

I recently taught a six-week monotyope printmaking workshop at the Lower East Side Printshop (in midtown). For the third class artists made images by putting found materials through the press…leaves, string, bits of plastic, lace, steel wool, sandpaper, paper cut outs; whatever can be run though an etching press without destroying it. This group of artists have been particularly interested in integrating non-traditional papers into their images.
