Exploring Linocut Printmaking and Monotype


Sorry, this class has been cancelled.

Date: April 30
Time: 10 am – 3pm (one-hour lunch break)
Registration Deadline: April 27
Location: GAAC

This class is designed to explore relief printmaking AND monotype. Students learn how to use linoleum, linocut tools, experiment with mark-making, carve, roll ink, and print by hand. Using color or black and white ink, students will discover how to create a blend roll, apply stencils and draw into the ink. The linocut will be printed on top of the monotype background. This combination of relief and monotype printmaking results in amazing, experimental one-of-a-kind prints!

Cindi received an MFA in Printmaking at Kendall School of Art and Design and was awarded a fellowship scholarship. Ford has won numerous awards at the local, national and international levels. Her work has been in galleries in Michigan, Indiana, Florida, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Japan, and South Korea! Recently she was accepted into “The Society of Graphic Artists” in New York. Cindi was an adjunct professor in printmaking at Kendall School of Art and Design! In 2017 she moved to her cottage on the Torch Lake Bayou to pursue a full-time career in creating prints. cindiford.com

Linoleum, linocut tools, water-based ink, pencils, and paper will be provided.

Bring drawings, photographs of subject matter you are interested in: landscape, plants, flowers, the figure, abstract designs, etc.  The instructor will help transfer your idea to the linoleum block and teach you how to use the tools.
