S119 SURFACE DESIGN: MONOPRINTING ON FABRIC AND/OR HANDMADE PAPER
Saturday Morning Mini-Session, 9:00 – 11:30 

Monoprinting is a quick-and-dirty printing process that produces one-of-a-kind prints. In this hands-on seminar for beginners, participants will prepare 4–6 flat surfaces with inks (supplied by the instructor) and then create a single (i.e., mono) print from each prepared surface. The class will explore reductive and additive monoprinting techniques on fabric and/or handmade paper.

Supplies: 2 yds. of heavy, clear plastic sheeting (available at WalMart or hardware stores); brayer or rolling pin; sponge; newspapers; toothbrush; plastic fork; serrated scraper from wallpaper departments (optional—don't buy); 6 pieces of 24" x 24" muslin or other natural fabric, washed, dried and ironed smooth; 6 pieces of handmade paper (optional); pottery tools (optional) or other marking devices; small containers (film canisters or baby jars) to take home remaining inks; paper towels; apron or work smock; styrofoam meat tray to mix inks; various sized brushes for applying inks.
Fee: $10.00 to cover the fabric inks supplied.
