Anderson Hall, University of the Arts
$75/Members, $95/Non-Members. Material fees are paid to the Teaching Artist on the day of the workshop.
This day long hands-on studio workshop explores two methods of printing drypoints, monoprints, and etchings without need for paper or a press. By printing onto plaster and archival glue, you can create dimensional plaster printed objects that can be reproduced and drawn back into; and ghostly translucent prints that can be layered onto other prints, or mounted onto panels.
These fun and non-toxic processes are appropriate for varying skill levels and great for artists that want to explore new mediums, but have limited equipment at home or in their studios. Workshop participants will complete one small drypoint printed onto plaster, and will begin a second drypoint* to be printed from glue. Bring a few small sketches with you to begin the process. If you already have a small etching plate that you would like to print, bring that too!
*Note: your glue print will not be dry by the end of the workshop. Be prepared to transport it flat after the workshop.
