Saturday-Sunday, September 28-29, 10 AM-5 PM

with Joyce Silverstone

Get to know the fundamentals of ink, paper and press use, along with the tools of the studio, the unique qualities of Akua Water-based Inks, and innovative monotype and drypoint methods.

Traditionally, monotypes are printed from a smooth substrate, with no repeatable marks on the plate. During this workshop, we will explore using monotype methods to approach printing a plate with repeatable elements. Teaching will highlight how to make and print a drypoint plate. There will be time to practice intaglio wiping skills, and demonstrations will include the ins and outs of layering and manipulating color additions.

Each day of the workshop begins with a demonstration of a printmaking technique, followed by individual attention and supported practice time with plenty of time for working with the materials.

We will begin the workshop loosening up by making transfer drawings to use as guides for making drypoint plates. PETG plastic will be the substrate used for the drypoints and for monotype color additions.

Joyce Silverstone is a graduate and traveling fellow of The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Her current body of work and her workshop teaching centers around layered multiple plate printing using monotype inking methods.
