WORKSHOPS

Viscosity Monotype: a Painterly Process
PR21WS12W
Roll up your sleeves and discover the unique monotype process called Viscosity Printing. By its very nature, this technique allows for the creation of both painterly and abstract imagery. Explore ink viscosity by rolling thick, tacky inks over thin, oily ones to reveal a unique resist that works simply because of the viscosity (weight) of the inks. Using non-toxic, Faust water based inks, you will learn proper ink mixing, larger roller technique, and print registration. Artists will generate a small suite of viscosity monotypes–all in a great and surprising day in the print shop. Participants to bring paper, brushes, plexiglass in size of their choice and small rollers; all other materials included.
Instructor: Roxanne Faber Savage
Saturday, 10am - 4pm, Feb 18

Prints with Tangible Surfaces
PR22WS12W
Explore ways to create prints with interesting and unique surfaces. Using various monotype techniques as a basis, learn how to add chine-collé and collage along with traditional and non-traditional materials such as metallic powders, metallic leafing, stencil work and decals. Also try a variety of registration methods useful for successful multiple run printing. A range of appropriate papers and adhesives will also be discussed. Participants should bring papers, brushes, rollers, plexiglass of their choice; other materials included. Artists with all levels of experience are welcome.
