IN MORE DETAIL
Learn
from one of the area’s most imaginative and skilled printmakers in a
two-day, adults only Monotype Workshop Friday, December 12 and Saturday,
December 13, 2014 from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Coos Art Museum.
Renowned local artist, printmaker and art educator Pat Snyder will share
with workshop participants the painterly printmaking process
incorporating spontaneous painting and/or drawing within the fine art of
printmaking using an etching press. Materials can include paints,
inks, pastels, charcoal and crayons or a combination of materials
painted or drawn onto a surface (substrate). Substrates can be plates of
wood, metal, glass, or plexiglas, however, for this workshop students
will use plexiglas as the substrate. Plexiglas offers a consistent
thickness supplying a uniform etching pressure for all students and due
to its transparency can be placed over drawings or photographs acting as
a useful guide for making the monotype.
Participants
will learn the many different tools and materials for applying and
subtracting paints and/or inks. Oil-based inks and paints have been
popular with artists for their slow drying times. This Monotype Workshop
will use non-toxic, slow drying, and safe Akua® water-based paints and
inks. Additional topics will include monotype terminology, proper use of
the etching press, the limits of materials and supplies, chine colle
(specialty paper glued to monotype) and studio setup.
This
workshop is a prerequisite for independent use and rental of Coos Art
Museum’s Printmaking Studio. Cost for the two-day workshop is $75 for
CAM members and $90 for non-members. Registration ends December 4,
2014. For online registration visit www.coosart.org or contact the Art Education Dept. at (541) 267-3901 or sldonaldson@coosart.org.
