Exploring Color and Dynamic Composition Through Monoprinting

Exploring Color and Dynamic Composition Through Monoprinting is an approachable hands-on class focused on using color, transparency, and composition in monotype printmaking. Participants will construct plates from chipboard and paper, layer them to create dynamic compositions, and produce a small series of prints to take home.
