Continuing Education

133/141 West 21st Street

A variety of monoprint methods resulting in one-of-a-kind prints are explored in this course. Fine artists, illustrators and designers will be encouraged to experiment with and develop painterly, graphic prints through either a single impression or a series of variations. Students will learn a wide range of monoprint techniques, including additive/subtractive, trace positive/inverse, stencil, and object/material hand and press transfer techniques using both black and colored inks. Multilayers, transparent mixing, and "ghost" printing transferred from an unaltered plexiglass matrix will be supported, allowing for infinite possibilities. Previous printmaking experience is not required.
Note: Access to the printshop outside of class hours is available to continuing education students enrolled in printmaking courses. Access to the printmaking facilities outside of class hours is as follows: Monday through Friday, from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm and on Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Hours are based on classroom availability. Access will not be available outside these designated open access times. Access to the printshop terminates on the last day of the scheduled course. No access will be granted after this date. This course is held on campus at SVA.
