Introduction to Monotype with Jorge Vara Hernandez
Class | Registration opens 11/19/2025 12:00 AM EST
Students will receive an overview of the Monotype printmaking process to create their own series of one-of-a-kind Monotypes. Using traditional materials students will learn how to prepare copper plates and paper for printing. Additive and reductive monotype techniques will be covered, as well as the Ghost Print, mark making, tone, gesture and ink viscosity adjustment. Instruction on Chine Collé will also be included. Monotype is a printmaking process that blends both the beauty of a painter’s touch and the permanence of a graphic mark. The medium lends itself to spontaneity and experimentation; this course will benefit the artist looking to take risks, adapt to the unexpected, and discover their subject.
