2024 Visiting Artist Workshop Series

Katherine Levin-Lau: Viscosity Techniques for Monotype

New Dates: September 6, 1 - 4 p.m. and September 7 & 8, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. $450

More information and registration through Eventbrite.  

This colorful monotype hyper realistic painted green leaves and red branches floating behind an octopus tentacle, a small yellow bird and a shiny black beetle, all on a backdrop of graded purple textured with bubbles like an underwater scene. A state-of-the-art printmaking technique, Viscosity Printing allows printmakers to produce non-identical multiples by layering colors on a zinc metal plate. Participants can expect to learn about the technical foundations of this printmaking process, from the preparation and use of zinc plates, to the use of magenta, cyan and yellow oil inks at varying densities, as well as unique methods for printing, including the utilization of leftover ink (also known as ghosts) and offset images to produce singular compositions.

Under the expert guidance of internationally exhibited artist Katherine Levin Lau, this course offers a rare opportunity to tap into her 35 years of studio experience in monotype, and the secrets she has discovered in the process. More about Katherine and this workshop on the Eventbrite Registration Page.
