Explore experimental and traditional monoprint methods in this five-day workshop. Students will discover unconventional tools to create various textures using both oil and water-based mediums with stenciling to build layers. These methods combine the richness of oil-based ink with translucency of watercolor to create dynamic printed imagery. Various short demonstrations throughout the workshop will teach offset printing onto stencils, reductive and additive inking, chine-collé and applying texturized ink with alterative tools. Students should be prepared to try new methods of mark making and are also encouraged bring previous plates/matrixes and works they wish to experiment with and expand. End this workshop with a deep understanding of how versatile, expansive, and dynamic monoprint can be!

Kat Richards
Kat Richards is a print-media based artist currently in a Post- MFA Technical Fellowship appointment at the University of Arkansas. They received their MFA in printmaking from Tyler School of Art, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA in 2019.

Kat was awarded the Gallery Award as a Semi-Finalist in the 94th Annual at The Print Center.

Kat’s relationship with print media is an extension of their queerness, gender, and body. The printing press is an essential aspect of their work; acting, theoretically, as a genderless prosthetic for reproduction. They use an index of shapes and color as metaphors for a boundless and ever changing figure.
