Print, Draw & Collage Workshop with Christine Stoughton
Join Cerulean Collective artist Christine Stoughton and explore the combined disciplines of drawing and printmaking in the making of a collaged image. The morning session will include demonstrations and experimentation with the following techniques: dark and light field monotypes (with examples from Edgar Degas), trace monotypes (with examples from Gauguin and Paul Klee), chine colle, wood grain printing, and frottage. The transfer of drawings to printed images using a release agent will also be taught. The afternoon session will focus on the students selecting those techniques of greatest interest and using them in creating their collage. No prior printmaking or drawing experience is required, and more advanced students are invited to further develop their knowledge of these techniques.
The workshop will include a tour of Christine Stoughton's Cerulean Collective exhibition on view October 11 - November 5.
