Monotypes are often described as “painterly prints,” but using Mylar to make hand-cut stencils yields a more graphic, clean-edged effect. This workshop is open to painters and printmakers alike who are intrigued by the process of creating one-of-a-kind prints. Stencil methods are introduced in addition to mark making processes, background blends, gum Arabic transfers and other fascinating techniques. Students have opportunities to translate drawings, paintings and photographs into the print form using Plexiglas plates as printing surfaces.
