The Oklahoma Art Guild is offering a two-day workshop on Mitch Lyons’ pioneering technique of monoprinting from slabs of clay. The workshops will be held at City Arts on October 26th & 27th (Workshop 1) and October 29th & 30th (Workshop 2) from 9:00am to 4:30pm where students will learn to mix colored clays and slips, make their own pastels, and build designs with images, colors and textures on a clay slab. 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.
