Carborundum Collograph & A Side of Monotype with Amber George
March 8-11, 2010 (10 AM - 4 PM) — Learn two complementary printmaking techniques in one exciting workshop! Taught by painter and printmaker Amber George, students will learn collograph and monotype printmaking techniques. Collographs are prints created from a plate that has a pattern collaged onto it creating a relief surface. Exploring a range of techniques, we’ll use everything from string to carborundum to create the relief surface. In combination with the collographs, students will be introduced to the technique of monotype, a spontaneous and experimental printmaking technique. We’ll also be able to combine the two techniques to create prints that include collograph and monotype. Most materials will be provided for the workshop including 5 sheets of 22x30 printmaking paper.
