Printmaking usually refers to a process of making multiples, or “copies”. However artists have long experimented with using printmaking methods to create singular works of art, called monotypes. This intensive workshop establishes the fundamental approaches to Monotype, and quickly expands into more specific but complex methodologies that can be used to endless effect. We will be using oil based inks, plexiglass as the plate material, and the Printing Museum’s large hand-operated etching press to print! These techniques are a great segue into printmaking for artists working in other areas such as painting or drawing, yielding rich, organic, and graphic results! All levels of experience are welcome!

This class is for beginners and experienced printers alike. This 3 day intensive course focuses on the “reduction” technique of linoleum block printing.This is an efficient method for creating editions of multi-layered, color prints from a single block, rather than carving a separate block for each layer of color in your design. The class will begin with a look at some historical contemporary examples of reduction linocut, followed by a technical demonstration. We will then work together for the remainder of each session, with the goal of each student finishing a small edition of at least 5 prints with at least three layers of color.
