Monotypes and Gel Plate Printmaking Workshop

Taught by Laura LoTurco-Gorian

This workshop offers an intensive, hands-on learning experience focused on understanding monotypes, a painterly printmaking process that allows for flexibility and freedom using drawing and painting methods. Each print is unique, and unlike many other printmaking techniques, monotypes do not require a press. This process encourages experimentation with a variety of materials and methods, often resulting in spontaneous and surprising outcomes.

Gel plates add further flexibility for creating texture-rich prints. The workshop explores the distinctive impressions that can be achieved by combining these techniques and simple materials, providing a creative and accessible introduction to this versatile printing method suitable for both beginners and experienced artists.

All materials are provided, with the exception of the gel plate. Participants are encouraged to purchase a gel plate in any size that fits their needs and budget (available online). Bringing baby wipes and a smock is recommended.

A $5 materials fee is payable to the instructor.
Please bring a lunch.
