Monotypes & Collagraphs

The notion of the “artist as the inventor” will be stressed as students experiment with collage, stamping and stenciling in their work. Plates, all inks & some paper will be supplied, additional paper may be purchased in class. All levels welcome.
Toner Litho Transfer in Clay
Print repeatable images on green or leather-hard clay tiles, vessels and sculptural forms. Use paper lithography techniques that can be applied directly to clay at many stages using special oil-based inks. Learn surface design techniques that can be adapted for wheel-thrown or hand-built forms, for low or high fire clay bodies. You even get to keep your shelves in the ceramics department! Prerequisite: One year of ceramics classes or instructor approval.
