In this 4-day course, students will learn the basics of both linocut and monotype printing. We will carve a linoleum block that can be printed multiple times and discover how this differs from making a monotype, which produces a unique, one-of-a-kind print! With our linoleum blocks, we will go over mark-making, basic carving techniques, and how to print an edition of prints. With monotypes, there will be more room for play and experimentation as we work with a plexiglass plate to explore additive, subtractive, and stenciling techniques. No prior experience necessary.

All materials included.

The first 6 artists to volunteer to present their work will have 20 minutes each during the critique.

This critique will be facilitated by Dilara Miller. If you are an artist that wanted to present but didn’t have a chance this round, reach out to Dilara to make sure you get top priority next meet.
