The Painterly Print: A Monotype Workshop

Instructor: Alice Nicholson Galick

Monotype is ideal for the painter who would like to step away from the easel and try creating a new approach to painting. To create a montype, one paints with ink on a smooth surface such as a plate of metal, glass or plexiglass.  The image is then transferred to paper with the pressure of the press.  This workshop will demonstrate basic techniques to make a successful monotype print, including the process of selelcting a surface for the plate, preparing paper for printing, and operating a press.
