About the event
Discover the vibrant, hands-on world of monotype printmaking in this workshop led by SSSA Artist-in-Residence Nicki Fortunati-Warren. Using gel plates—a flexible, reusable surface perfect for experimentation—you’ll explore layering color, texture, and pattern to create one-of-a-kind prints.
This process is approachable for all experience levels and encourages playful exploration with a variety of materials and techniques. Whether you’re new to printmaking or looking to expand your practice, you’ll leave with unique prints and new creative tools.
