Beginning Monotype: Printing with Addition and Subtraction

This is a beginning course in monotype printing. Throughout this course students will learn how to create tone and values through paint application, and print from their plates. Each student should have a basic understanding of monotype printing, printing one and multiple colors on their plates, transferring images onto plates, and curating and signing prints. Each student will leave this class with one print and one ghost from their plates.
