Multipass Monotype Workshop

Gretchen Schermerhorn Multi-pass Monotype Workshop with Gretchen Schermerhorn

Saturday, October 6 and Sunday, October 7, 2012, 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Who says printmakers are rigid? Are you interested in loosening up, working more spontaneously, and expanding your printmaking tool kit? This workshop is for you!

On the first day, participants will be guided through the basics of the additive and subtractive monoprinting, trace monotypes, positive/negative stenciling and viscosity printing. In addition, attention will be placed on image-making methods, ink mixing, appropriate papers. The second day will be spent exploring the sequential possibilities of monotype, with an emphasis on developing images conceptually and formally. Individual and group critiques as needed. All levels welcome. Maximum Enrollment: 10

Events with Beauvais Lyons, Visiting Artist

Beauvais Lyons The Association for Creative Zoology

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 7 FROM 2:30 TO 5:00 P.M., P.R.I.N.T Press


Citing examples such as unicorns and dragons in the Bible, Creative Zoologists believe that species variation is often the result of animal hybridity and not natural selection. In the early 10th century the Association initiated a public education campaign to counter the adoption of evolutionary theory in American schools and universities. Entitled The Association for Creative Zoology, this lecture presents the pioneering work the Reverend James Randolph Denton and Everitt Ormsby Hokes, founder of the Hokes Archives in advancing their theories regarding "zoomorphic juncture." Co-sponsored with Printmaking.
