Oil-based Monotype Workshop with Rachel Burgess

2-Day Weekend Workshop, 10am – 2pm
May 31 – June 1, 2025

Fee: $250 including materials and 8 hours of studio time

This two-day workshop will teach the basics of monotype printmaking with an emphasis on oil-based media. Participants will use a combination of oil paint, lithography ink and oil pastel to create unique, one-of-a-kind works. We will explore different mark-making tools, printing methods and paper types. Students will come away from the class with a basic understanding of monotype technique and of how it can be applied to their current artistic practice.
