Unleash Your Creativity

Discover the art of printmaking in a way that’s approachable in your own home or small studio. This class is designed for artists of all ages and experience levels who are passionate about experimenting and sharing ideas.

Through demonstration, discussion, and guided projects, we’ll explore monotype printmaking using primarily acrylic paint and a gel plate. Monotype printing is a technique that involves applying paint to a smooth surface, such as a gel plate, and then transferring the image to paper by hand. Monotypes are celebrated for their unique textural qualities and often have a painterly effect. While this class will focus on abstract and landscape pieces, the technique is also ideal for those interested in creating materials for collage, scrapbooking, or other mixed media art forms.

Expand and refine your skills.

This art-making technique is fun and can be fast-paced. New and intermediate students will gain confidence and enjoy the immediate gratification of seeing results without the pressure of being a master drawer or painter, while experienced artists will reinforce their skills and discover new inspiration through layering color, shape, and texture to create fresh compositions.
