\n\n After the wildly successful introduction of “Impressionist Salon” evening workshops in October\, the Darien Arts Cente r welcomes “Monoprint and Monotype Explorations” a two day workshop aimed at Darien’s creative adults.
\n\n
\n\n Exploring several pro cesses and techniques (including painterly monotype\, Styrofoam prints\, s tencil prints and plexi-intaglio) students make one-of-a kind images on an etching press. This process\, called monoprint and monotype\, is ideal f or experienced and beginning artists alike.
\n\n
\n\n “My pr ocess is about being fearless about the unknown” says visiting instructor Roxanne Faber Savage. “Errors are embraced and appear as distressed\, uncl ear ephemera giving exceptional meaning to the work.” Water based printing inks will be used. Dress for mess and bring lunch.
