Class Description:
The multi media mono print with collage is an artwork that exists somewhere between painting and printmaking.  It is a painting in the sense that the work is done in stages that are discovered and not predicted.  It is also a print in that the basic piece is stamped out in a printing press using traditional monotype techniques. 

Using water based inks and plexiglass plates, students will discover their voice in a hand printed image that is as unique as who you are. Participants will bring color to the images with colored mulberry papers and relief and intaglio colors. 

Although a good product is desirable, it is fluidly and freedom of the process that is the real motivator. Students will be given instruction by way of demonstration and critique. All levels of experience are welcome but a background in printmaking will be helpful.
