 Shelley Thorstensen Monoprint (study) 7 x 10"

Whether this is your first stop discovering printmaking or you are a veteran printmaker, this class is designed to activate and accelerate growth that can generate momentum in your entire art-making practice.

The workshop is designed for both artists working in other print, painting, or drawing media who are interested in the possibility of incorporating some level of print into their work and for artist/printmakers who work primarily on an etching press.

This is a low-stress, high reward workshop. Shelley includes in the workshop a series of demonstrations including ways of using color and printing, such as: stencils, a la poupee, chine colle, viscosity, multiple plates, relief and collage with ways to easily and seamlessly incorporate them into your work. Have no fear, this class will help you discover what aspects are unique to you and how to explore, expand and deepen your practice.

Shelley will work with you individually to discover what aspects are vital to your work and how to successfully mobilize your vision. This is precise yet juicy printmaking tailored to the needs of each artist. Bring drawings, ideas, prints in progress or just yourself and we’ll take it from there.
