Oklahoma Art Guild presents “Clay Printing Workshop” with Mitch Lyons Join the Oklahoma Art Guild at Las Milagros print studio on April 17 & 18 with artist Mitch Lyons. Mitch will be demonstrating his pioneering technique of monoprinting from slabs of clay. A clay monoprint is a monoprint using colored clay, not ink, applied to a slab of wet clay to make multiple monoprints. Dampened paper is placed over the colored clay slab, rolled with a rolling pin (press); this pressure pulls a thin layer of colored clay from the matrix (clay slab). Students will learn to mix colored clays and slips, make their own pastels, through various techniques that Mitch will demonstrate during this two-day workshop. What: “Clay Printing Workshop” with Mitch Lyons When: April 17th & 18th, 2010 9 am - 4:30 pm
Where: Los Milagros Print Studio
