A Virtual Workshop!
Trace monotype is a versatile, low-tech method of image transferring that combines the qualities of printmaking with the immediate, direct nature of drawing. Perfect for printing without a press, this technique is characterized by expressive, fuzzy lines and tones. In this workshop, students will learn about the simple tools and methods needed for printing at home. We will explore a variety of mark making, layering and texturing techniques, and will even learn how to print ghosts.
Registration closes January 16, 2021 to allow time for students to purchase their materials. With your registration you'll receive the full materials list (with helpful links) to purchase your items, any helpful handouts about the process, as well as a quick 1-page "how-to" on downloading and using the Zoom video app.
PLEASE NOTE: All workshops will be recorded for Pyramid Atlantic's private use to better optimize our programming and share as examples for funders. You may mute your microphone or turn off your camera if you do not wish to be recorded.
