Linda Rawlings Teaching Print Making-Dry Point Etching and Monoprints July 15 at the ACS (Posted by Ginger Smith)
Linda Rawlings will teach Print Making – Dry Point Etching and Monoprints on July 15th at the Arkansas Craft School
Register by June 30th
Drypoint Etching – Drypoint Etching is a simple etching technique suitable for all levels. A contemporary, nontoxic and cost- efficient method of dry point etching will be introduced in this class. An alternative to copper, zinc or brass plates, will be the use of plexiglass. Designs are scratched into the plexiglass and nontoxic Akua inks will be used for printing without an etching press.
Monoprints create a unique one of a kind application of color. Traditional printmaking techniques allows artists to make a collection (edition) of the same image. A monoprint involves painting directly on the plate to create one of a kind designs within that single image.
Bringing them together – Monoprint applications of color and design combined with the Drypoint etching techniques, makes each print unique. The possibilities are infinite. Learn all the ways these two methods can be used separately or together to create beautiful imagery.
This is an excellent class for art teachers and a great follow up to our drawing class. All levels are welcome. This class allows beginners to jump right into the printmaking process, or advanced printers to learn new approaches.
Students are encouraged to bring some simple 5” x 7” and 8” x 10” line drawings with hatching and cross-hatching. Outline drawings may also be created from simple photos, or geometric & abstract designs.
