This workshop will explore several methods for creating prints using and inspired by local plants. Participants will spend time walking and gathering plants each day. Back in the studio, we will work with monoprint techniques to explore transparent color layering, stencils using leaves and stems, and serial image-making that builds on a central focus over the week. In addition to organic stencils, participants will learn techniques for translating photographic imagery using paper lithography.
