Yesterday, I did the first monotype workshop at Glynn Visual
Art Center. There were ten people who came to try their hand at the new but
very old process of printmaking. It was a little scary at first for Monotype
printmaking is a kinetic process. I would compare it to white fright when
starting a drawing. However, the class got started, and each person discovered
their inner artists. Even the one that
said, “I have no artistic abilities;” found that she did have a creative side.
It turned out to be a fun time for all and the folks took home some nice
monotypes for their collection.
The etching press we will be using for printmaking at the
Glynn Visual Art Center was Judith Hall Manzer’s press. She used this press
throughout her printmaking career. Thank you so much goes to Les Manzer and the Manzer family donated to
Glynn Art. I am very excited to see Judith Hall’s etching press used in this
type of class situation. She would have been, please.
