Printmaking - FULL: Workshop with Ron Pokrasso

The workshop covers a wide range of techniques in the monotype process and continues with chine collé/collage and the integration of the Solarplate intaglio process. Working with Akua non toxic waterbased inks participants of all levels of experience will be encouraged to pursue their artistic vision using monotype and Solarplate as mark making tools in combination with whatever other techniques are efficient and available. The notion of the "artist as an inventor" will be stressed and the open-ended approach will lead to limitless opportunities. All inks, in studio supplies, one 8x10 Solarplate and 5 sheets of Arches 88 paper are included (additional Solarplates and paper are available for purchase). A suggested materials list will be sent as it gets closer. With numerous demonstrations, the interspersing of art making philosophies, extended open studio time and highly recommended day trips this program will be an intensive, information packed, enriching experience.
