Tools of the Clay Monoprint Technique
Art Demonstration - Live This Thursday
Have you been curious about these clay monoprints I share? Looking for something to learn about while sheltered-in-place at home?
This Thursday, May 7th, at 6:30, the Hanover Area Arts Guild and the Visual Realia Studio will be sponsoring a free online artist demonstration, live on Facebook.
At 6:30 PM Eastern Time, stop by the Guild's Facebook page. You'll notice a new post added around that time, and by clicking on that post, you'll be able to watch me show you some techniques used to create clay monoprints, a unique printing process where colored clay is used to create a one-of-a-kind print.
Clay monoprinting was invented by Pennsylvania native Mitch Lyons, who resided in southeastern Pennsylvania, so there's a state connection to the art medium.
If you want to get a peek at the process beforehand, you can read a short article on his website:

Note: You won't see the post on the Guild's Facebook page until the live stream starts around 6:30 on Thursday. See you there!
