The Pochoir Monotype Method
June 22 and 23, 2019 10am – 3pm

Monotype printmaking is an immediate and versatile process. The pochoir method, using stencils cut from card stock, is especially spontaneous. Stencils are inked in solid colors and layered face up on an inked Plexiglas plate. This first print is quite graphic with bold shapes and colors. Next the stencils are removed from the plate, turned over and again layered on the ghost ink remaining on the plate. This is when the magic begins – with unpredictable patterns emerging as a result of the layering process. The flipping, layering and reprinting continues – with each new print a bit more subtle than the previous one.

Monotype: Patterns in Nature
August 27 – 29, 2019 10am – 4pm

Combine watercolor monotype printmaking and the chine collé method of collage to create vibrant one-of-a-kind prints. Saturated watercolors are layered and manipulated on prepared plexiglas plates and allowed to dry. Inspired by patterns in the natural surroundings, your line drawings on fine Asian paper are adhered to the print during transfer with a press. This combination of shape, line, color and texture provides intriguing results. No experience in watercolor or printmaking is necessary to enjoy this three day workshop.

Sitka Center for Art and Ecology is located just north of Lincoln City on the beautiful Oregon Coast. Call the Sitka office or visit their website for more information and to register.
