NEW at NIMBUS ARTS: Introduction to Monotype

If you are a printmaker or have yet to discover the joys of a hand pulled print, then join us at Nimbus Arts new printmaking studio for four weeks of creative bliss and discovery. 

Monotype can be the most painterly printmaking process and also the most accessible. After a brief demo or lecture, we will create images on Plexiglas plates and transfer them to paper using the Conrad French Amercian printing press. Each week we will focus on one of the many approaches to monotype and use our last session as an open print studio. 

Bring sketchbook, ideas to first class.

Wednesdays 9:30 to 12:30   Nov. 7, 14, 28, and Dec 5th FOUR week session $175. or $50. a session. Call NIMBUS ARTS at 707.963.5278 to register.

Inks and most materials are included. One sheet of RIVES BFK will be provided at first class with paper available to purchase on site.
