I’m currently teaching a Monotype class at the Lower East Side Printshop. Once again a wonderful group of artists is taking the class.

I recently taught a six-week monotyope printmaking workshop at the Lower East Side Printshop (in midtown).  For the third class artists made images by putting found materials through the press…leaves, string, bits of plastic, lace, steel wool, sandpaper, paper cut outs; whatever can be run though an etching press without destroying it. This group of artists have been particularly interested in integrating non-traditional papers into their images.
