Saturday-Sunday, April 26-27, 10 AM-5 PM

with Joyce Silverstone

Spend a weekend experimenting with making marks on your plate! Participants will explore beautiful drypoint and monotype mark-making methods. Scratch, sand, and abrade the surface of a plastic plate to create an image that can be wiped with tarletan which allows those burrs and kicked up plate material to hold ink.

PETG plastic will be the substrate for the drypoints and subtractive monotypes. We’ll proof and print these plates using Akua Intaglio Inks and modifiers.

Teaching will highlight how to make and print a drypoint plate with time to practice intaglio wiping skills, and demonstrations will include, monotype mark-making methods, the ins and outs of mixing and layering Akua Intaglio Ink, choosing printing papers, and manipulating color additions.

Joyce Silverstone is a graduate and traveling fellow of The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. She is a core faculty member and mentor at Zea Mays Printmaking and teaches throughout New England. Her current body of work and her workshop teaching centers around layered multiple plate printing using monotype inking methods.
