Description

Learn how to combine Monoprints and Xerox copy transfer for unique and experimental art. Monoprints and monotypes are created by manually adding (additive method) or removing (subtractive method) ink from a plate which is then printed using a printing press. Many effects can be achieved in monotypes that are not possible with any other technique. Xerox copy transfer is a method of transferring a digitally printed image using a solvent. In this workshop, we will combine these two methods to generate printed works using etching presses. It'll be fun and experimental! No experience necessary. This is an IN-PERSON class. As such the following COVID protocols will be in place: Masks will be worn by all visitors to the shop. ***This is not optional***Physical distancing of six feet at all times.All surfaces cleaned after use.All students will sign in with name and contact info.______________________________________________________________________________________ This class is taught by Bethany Taylor.
