Nico Ras, a graduate student at University of Johannesburg and frequent guest teacher at Artist Proof Studios (Johannesburg, South Africa), demonstrates a technique that uses charcoal dust and an exposed silkscreen to create delicate, ethereal monotypes.

Marnix teaches Printmaking at the Academy for Visual Arts (Ghent, Belgium) and travels the world conducting workshops on sustainable printmaking. During this demonstration he shows us how to prepare a do-it-yourself soft ground for etching based upon two simple ingredients that are available everywhere, how to apply the ground, etch and print. Includes clean-up and how to use as little water as possible for the job.

Join Liz Chalfin, founder of Zea Mays Printmaking, as she demonstrates an easy, non-darkroom method of photo etching on metal plates. Beginning with a photocopy, she shows us how to transfer the image to a metal plate, etch and print. This process removes the need for a darkroom and gives you an etched image that can be reworked with all of the etching methods we know and love.
