​~MONOTYPE INTENSIVE!~

THREE DAY EXPLORATION

March 10th, 11th, and 12th

@ NEW MEXICO ART LEAGUE 

3409 Juan Tabo NE 

 Albuquerque, N.M. 87111

             Monotype prints are just that: a unique one of kind

print, often called “painterly prints” due to the

spontaneous nature of this process. Enjoy the textures

and soft values that only monotypes can create.

During this workshop students will learn how to pull

monotype prints using Akua liquid inks. Akua inks are

non-toxic and clean up with rubbing alcohol. Working

on a polycarbonate plate (matrix) we will manipulate

the ink with a brayer and a variety of mark making tools

and materials. This process will be explored first with

only black ink and end with layers of colored inks. We

will learn the basic monotype printing techniques:

additive and subtractive mark-making, stencils,

registration, offset and ghost prints. Chin collè- aka:

collage prints- will also be introduced to give the

process even more exciting options to explore. The

printing process can be as experiential and open ended

as you want or as controlled: using Chin collè and

stencils. Your final compositions will be exciting prints

reflecting your preferences in imagery. We’ll wrap up

the workshop with time to view our prints and share our

insights and discoveries made during this three-day

printmaking adventure. Come learn, play and create

with ink and a brayer!

Open to 6 students. $225 members $245. non-members

APRIL CLASSES:

WEEKEND LINOCUT CLASS: April 11th & 12th

This workshop is for beginner printmakers and

for people already familiar with relief

printing.  The relief printing process is one where lines are carved into a surface (matrix).  Lino-cut it is just that, using a linoleum matrix. The raised surface is inked and printed on rag paper. Saturday students will develop an image, trace that image onto the surface and carve out the negative areas.

On Sunday we will "pull" an edition of prints.

Options of adding a color base will be explored.

This is a hands-on fun workshop with support from beginning to the end!

ArtSpaceEast uses non-toxic Akua ink for

printing.

Suitable for students 16 and older

All supplies included. $100.00 pay at event-

limited to four students.
