Concept
Discover a new method to add to your mark-making toolkit in this workshop focused on a basic printmaking process that doesn't require a press. Trace monotype was the first printmaking process Carolyn learned over 30 years ago, and it remains her favorite to this day. Known for its gorgeous hazy lines and rich textures, this method strikes the perfect balance between control and unpredictability. Bring this technique back to your painting studio and breathe new life into your work and practice.
Experience
The workshop begins with a complete demonstration, followed by open studio time. While simple to learn, incorporating base layers of paint and registration techniques create stunning, multi-layered results.This versatile process works beautifully on paper, canvas, or wood panel; making it an excellent choice for starting fresh pieces or reinvigorating existing works. Carolyn is on hand throughout the day as a guide and enthusiastic cheerleader.
Skill Level
All levels welcome. No prior printmaking experience required.

INSTRUCTOR
For several decades Susan Maakestad has painted abstracted landscapes empty of human activity, but filled with brilliant color and recollected light. She recently completed a large-scale public art commission at Memphis International Airport. Like a coach, Susan points out what her students are already good at, helps them with their challenges, and introduces them to new possibilities. When not in the studio, she can be found birding, cooking, or sharing wine with friends. Susan earned her MFA from the University of Iowa, has been honored with fellowships through the National Endowment for the Arts, MacDowell, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and Vermont Studio Center, and was Professor of Art at Memphis College of Art for 23 years.
