October 15-19, 2008 Monoprinting: The Painterly Print Jeanne Beck
Workshop description: Monoprinting is basically a printmaking process where slow drying pigments or thickened dyes are applied to a smooth, nonabsorbent surface like plexiglass or vinyl, then patterned using a multitude of methods and printed in full or part on cloth. The word mono means each monoprint creates a unique and one of a kind print. The process lends itself to experimentation and innovation. We will start with textile paints and move on to thickened dyes to experiment with a variety of tools and techniques for patterning and mark making -- including masks and resists and fabric manipulation -- for fascinating and never entirely predictable results. Instructor bio: Jeanne Beck is a full-time studio artist, writer and teacher who divides her time between her surface design studio in a converted city factory building in Rochester and her home studio on 14 acres in the Finger Lakes Region in upstate New York. Jeanne has a BA in communications and an MFA in creative writing. She worked for many years in public relations and owned her own publications business for nine years. Jeanne teaches surface design, stitching and creative process techniques throughout the USA and has exhibited her work in juried exhibitions throughout the US and England. She has been featured on HGTV’s Simply Quilts and her work has appeared in a number of publications including Surface Design Journal and Quilting Arts. She has won awards for her mixed media surface designed pieces in major mixed media and fine craft exhibitions.
