Patterns in Nature with Joyce Silverstone

Those limitations on nature bring harmony and beauty to the natural world. Flow, spirals, branching, cracking, crystals, packing, and meandering will be the focus of our study. We will record and interpret these patterns of growth using simple printmaking techniques. Transfer drawing, collagraph plates and relief plates will be approached in a monotype method. We will print with Akua Intaglio Inks and take full advantage of their ease of use and ability to layer colors, textures and lines with clarity.
