Dive into the vibrant world of mixed-media printmaking in this immersive full-day workshop. Students will explore the techniques of monoprinting and relief printing, releasing their creativity through hands-on art making.
The class begins with an introduction to monoprinting with gel plates, where students will create unique, one-of-a-kind prints. They'll experiment with layering, texturing, and incorporating natural elements like botanicals, discovering how to develop their own artistic styles.
Next, students will delve into block printing, learning how to carve designs into rubber blocks and produce multiple prints. From carving techniques to ink application and printing methods, students will bring their designs to life on both paper and fabric.
Throughout the day, we'll also explore historical and contemporary examples of printmaking, deepening students’ understanding of the art form’s cultural significance. With demonstrations, creative discussions, and a supportive learning environment, this workshop offers the perfect opportunity for students to explore their creativity and express their unique artistic voices.
