Saturday & Sunday, February 21st & 22nd, 10AM - 2:30PM
Two Day Workshop February 21 – 22, 2026 10 am – 2:30pm
Instructor: Rosemary Cooley
This is an intuitive method of printmaking that can make glowing results. Students will work spontaneously with top notch papers and inks, using studio tools and stencils to create something startling and dreamy.Trace monoprints tap into automatic drawing skills, and the process of gel plate monoprints will carry you in a direction you hadn’t thought possible. No staring at white paper wondering where to start. Layering makes these prints rich.
