Intermediate Monoprint - learning more techniques with monoprint.  Build on techniques you already know—and continue an understanding of inks and color.  We will focus on registration—printing over an image you already have to add to it and make it richer.  And we will explore viscosity—putting an oily ink down and rolling over it with a stiffer ink so the oily ink rejects the stiff ink and you get several colors side by side.  We will also explore more techniques for applying ink to a plate.  You will begin to see how the techniques can be interchanged for endless possibilities.   Details:  classes run from 10:00 to 4:00.  The cost is $195 for the two days plus $25 material fees.  The fees include everything except extra paper which can be purchaced at cost. The classes are located at the Beall greenhouses at 18531 Beall Rd SW  Vashon.   If you have any questions let me know  "mailto:valeriewillson@comcast.net"valeriewillson@comcast.net or 206-463-5067.  

Sept 21-22  beginning monoprint—no experience necessary, but experienced artists will enjoy it as well.  Use the etching press to create a one of a kind image.  Using oil based inks, create images on a plexi glass plate using brushies, stencils, stamps, natural materrials, fabric textures, and whatever you can think of.  This is a fun free form process—you will make a print by lunch time.  In this class you will also learn to use the press and understand how the studio works.  Great fun!
