Silk Aquatint Printing with Len Merlo
Saturday, September 30th, 11am-4pm
Members: $90, Non-Members: $105, Material Fee: $40
In this one day in-person workshop, you will learn about the silk aquatint technique. A silk aquatint is a form of non-toxic printmaking, in the intaglio style, that uses silkscreen mesh adhered to a sturdy plate (usually made from metal or plastic) to create a printmaking surface capable of printing unique painterly images resembling traditional aquatint. Plates have to dry for 24-48 hours before printing, so they will be mailed to you beforehand with instructions on how to prepare your image! You will learn how to create non-toxic prints with this unique process. All experience levels welcome!
