Exploration with Monotype
taught by Kathy Klompas
Monotype is a printmaking process that creates one unique print. It allows for improvisation, painterly effects, and stenciled images. Using a 8 x 10 inch sheet of plexiglass, we will apply ink and transfer it to paper through pressure using a printing press. Discover how many ways you can layer color, shape, texture, and line by inking a smooth printing plate! We will experiment with cut stencils, textures (leaves, yarn, fabric, etc.) , and mark- making tools to create unique hand pulled prints using the etching press.
While this is a perfect class for anyone new to printmaking to learn the basics, it will also provide a wide breadth of possibilities for those already familiar with printmaking. When we work in a group setting the creative sparks fly and we all become energized to try out new ideas and fresh approaches. This class is 6 sessions long, with the option to sign up for only 3 sessions, offering flexibility to dive further into the process or to begin experimenting.
For the duration of the class, you will have access to the printmaking studio outside of class to allow for a deeper exploration into the process.
