Past: Monoprints at June 24th PWAS Meeting

If you are interested in printmaking without a bunch of expensive

supplies, you'll enjoy June's program on monoprints. Professional

artist Michele Frantz will share some collagraphs (where a printing

plate is made by gluing various items to a piece of cardboard) as well

as demonstrating some ways to pull prints from a Gelli plate. We'll get

to see examples of some of the effects that can be achieved and hear

experience driven advice on materials, as well as learn the difference

between a monotype and a monoprint.

Michele says "I've been intrigued by printmaking ever since being

introduced to it in college, but have only recently taken them up again.

For some reason, I just love the flatness of color I get with prints;

it's so different from the way I paint". She has been an active member of

the Manassas art scene for many years and is a well known art

instructor. You can check out some of her work (and play) on her

Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/ArcadiaAS .

Programs are free and open to the public who are invited to attend. Meetings begin at 7:30 pm at the Tall Oaks Community Center, 12298 Cotton Mill Dr., Lake Ridge VA
