In
these classes, you'll learn how to prepare plexiglass plates (provided)
and paint images on them using watercolor, caran d'ache, watercolor
pencils and/or Stabilo crayons. You'll then transfer your images
to damp printmaking paper using a small etching press. Artists
will explore other techniques such as chine colle, using wet media
acetate, and a two-plate process. One class will focus on
constructing a small "flip press" and making hand-rubbed
monotypes using that and other tools. Beginners through
experienced painters are welcome. "Happy accidents,"
instant gratification, and a sense of play are integral to the process,
making it an engaging and really fun creative experience!
