Building Edges in Monoprint – Tara Sabharwal
Dates: July 21 – July 25, 2025
Studio: Intaglio
Tuition: Sliding Scale, $450 – $1300
Lab Fee: $150
Class limit: 6
We will make monoprints, exploring lines and shapes to build a vocabulary of EDGES. Besides brushes we will use Inkjet sheets and mylar stencils for hard, sharp edges, remove ink with Q- tips and rags to make softer edges and collage material for perforated edges, scrape ink for dry, abrasive edges and use a range of solvents to make fluid, flowing edges. Participants can also scratch on the plexiglass sheet and print the inked, scratched or dry point mark to create whimsical, blurry edges. String, wool and rope, can be explored to make embossed edges. We will work on 18”x24” plexiglass sheets with water soluble inks. Smaller sheets can be purchased for the dry point option. This workshop is suitable for novice as well as experienced printmakers.
