Painterly Prints and Portfolios with Vicky Tomayko and Sylvia Tomayko-Peters

An introduction to one-of-a-kind prints that will be nested in a handcrafted portfolio. The first three days will be dedicated to realizing painterly prints. Monotype with its resultant ghost is the perfect medium for creating a series of related works, each new print springing from the echo of the last. The last two class sessions are dedicated to the creation of a presentation portfolio and the completion of your project. You may decide to use one of the prints for the cover, or leave it plain.
