MONOTYPE WITH STENCILS

Saturday November 13 2010 |10.00 – 16.00

With Carol Nunan and Rebecca Vincent

Learn to make prints using simple acetate shapes inked and layered on to a background plate. Work with the subsequent layers of residual ink to create further interesting prints that change and develop as you work. Incorporate drawn elements and collaged papers – each print will be completely unique!

THE TRANSFER DRAWN LINE

Saturday November 27 2010 | 10.00 – 16.00

With Rebecca Vincent and Carol Nunan

Do you love the direct fluidity of the drawn line? Learn this very simple monoytpe method of transferring ink through the touch of a tool to the surface of the paper with lots of expressive possibilities. Subtle, immediate mark-making is the beauty of this printmaking technique. Students will learn how to make an at-home registration system that allows for multiple colour drawing and creating prints without a press. If you’ve made monotypes before, bring them along and try drawing into them using this method.
