This 2-session Silkscreen course (2 × 3 hours) invites participants to embrace the organic results of Silkscreen Monoprints. Drawing, painting, and hand-printing directly on and through an open stencil exposed on a silkscreen will result in emotive, improvisational works on paper. In the Age of AI, this workshop encourages participants to let go of step-by-step perfection. Experiential hybrid printing of drawing and painting from screen to paper will be the emphasis of this workshop.
