Monotype Workshop: 3 Colors, 3 Layers, 3 Shapes

Monotype Print by Liz Schiff

This workshop covers the basic steps of how to make multi-layered monotypes using a printing press. Keeping things simple, we will use a 3 x 3 x 3 format: three colors, three layers and three shapes. Participants will make their own stencils of simple shapes from Duralar film (a more versatile alternative to acetate). Using brayers to roll non-toxic water soluble block ink onto plexiglass plates, participants will roll out a different color for each of the three-layers. The magic happens as we build up the layers of color over the stenciled shapes. No previous printmaking experience is needed for this introductory workshop.
