PRINT & LETTERPRESS SUMMER SESSION 6
JULY 30–AUGUST 11, 2023
Adriane Herman
Mixed-Media Monoprint Mayhem

Feast on a buffet of additive and reductive techniques for transferring, repeating, layering, and juxtaposing images, marks, patterns, text, and textures. The path to press-preferring methods, such as painterly monotype, collagraph, pressure printing and chine collé, will be paved by press-free processes, such as trace monotype, that offer marks no other methods yield. We’ll generate repeatable matrices and stencils that can be combined to create one-of-a-kind works on paper, fabric, and other surfaces, plus variable editions and simple book structures. Equally suited for representation, abstraction, landscape, photographic, drawn/painted, or appropriated imagery, monoprint techniques are easily harnessed to yield cohesive series and sequences of truly unique prints. All levels. Printmaking studio.
