Artist Stephanie Navon-Jacobson will teach a two-day workshop “Silkscreen Monotype” May 30 and 31, 2015, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Art Guild at Elderfields Preserve, 200 Port Washington Blvd. in Manhasset.
Come discover this unique process that combines screen-printing and painting techniques using water-based materials — non-toxic, versatile and simple to master. Navon-Jacobson will demonstrate the versatility of printmaking – as a stand alone process or as incorporated with other mediums such as oil or watercolor.
Navon-Jacobson, who teaches at the Art League of Long Island and at St. John’s University, is always observing the world around her.
Whether floral, landscape, animal, or figure, abstract or realistic, her images always go back to nature. She considers herself a printmaker who paints, rather than a painter who prints and likes to experiment with various techniques.
“It is so satisfying to work with people who are new to printmaking or to teach experienced artists a new technique and watch their enthusiasm as they get ‘bitten’ by the printmaking ‘bug,’” Navon-Jacobson said. “I encourage my students to add printmaking to their artistic arsenal and incorporate it with their other artistic endeavors.”
Students will learn to create unique prints and will explore the layering possibilities for overprinting on drawings, prints and other media. No prior experience or skill necessary. (Materials list provided at registration. Students will need to purchase a reusable silkscreen and a squeegee.) Tuition is $130 for members and $160 non-members.
The Guild is also planning a Summer session of classes and workshops for children and adults beginning in June & July including a Plein Air Workshop with Howard Rose on June 13-14. For more information and to register, please visit the website at theartguild.org.
