Monotype Workshop / Familiar Places with Joyce Zavorskas

Monday, May 10 & Tuesday, May 11 • 9:15 am - 1:15 pm 

Please note: class may run a little longer than 1:15.

This is an in-person workshop

Members - $155 (includes $15 materials fee).

Non-Members - $175

Students will bring images of familiar beloved places, people, or things to each class and create painterly spontaneous images on smooth acrylic plates using small rubber brayers, brushes, and oil base etching ink. Dampened 100% rag paper placed on top of the inked plate, and passed through the press with gentle pressure, produces a unique impression that is intimately and permanently bonded with the fibers of the paper. The glistening layers of radiant ink create truly unique images with depth, mystery, memory, and delight. Demonstrations each day will help to develop individual explorations. Clean-up will be with baby oil or Gamsol. 

Beginner to advanced students welcome. Limited to 8 students.
