Event Title
Collaborative Mono-printing

Description
Working alongside Assistant Professor Tim Van Ginkel and fellow graduate student James Meara, the three of us will demonstrate collaborative mono-print printing to conference attendees. Each of us uses different printmaking methods within our individual practices, and we will demonstrate how bringing these techniques together can explore an exciting new aesthetic through the collaborative process. This demonstration will be an interactive event; utilizing methods of both addition and subtraction, we will allow volunteers to produce prints using digital and handmade matrices that will be used repeatedly within various compositions, contributing to a large output of connected prints. While repeating patterns and exploring scale, volunteers can make new prints, modify existing compositions, and combine multiple techniques. We will also demonstrate various inking strategies, including masking and viscosity. Utilizing multiple ink slabs, volunteers will be able to draw into ink, remove ink in a subtractive manner, and implement stencils into their own prints as well as contribute to others. Ultimately, participants in this event will experience collaboration and walk away with a print.
