Friday May 10th 1pm - 5pm
This workshop explores printmaking utilizing a plexiglass matrix, with focuses on dry-point mark making and experimental monoprint processes. Students will learn a variety of techniques to produce editions and monoprints, as well as processes that can shape their art practice at large. This is a process-based workshop with no limitations placed on subject matter or content, but students are encouraged to work from their own lexicon of imagery and interests; our focus is on finding new ways to make an impression or reinvent an image.
All levels welcome.
