The Center for Contemporary Printing will be returning to HealingNewtown, 14 West Street, for a final workshop, on Monotype Printing, October 11 from 1-4 pm. This workshop will explore more advanced techniques in Monotype. Basic techniques will also be reviewed.
Very similar to painting, monotype involves applying inks to a plexiglass plate, then running the plate and paper through a press to create the image. Inks can be applied in a variety of ways to make a huge range of effects and marks. Students can apply ink with fingers, brushes, rollers, and stencils, and can layer color by running.
