Everyone then sketched out their design for our monotype exquisite corpse, while their paper soaked in the tub.
We mixed oil based etching inks and placed our sketches underneath the plexi.
Everyone then painted, dabbed, wiped off or scraped the ink onto and off of their plates.
We then worked on the etching presses to pull the prints after drying off excess water in the paper between blotters. The presses were set to 1 over 7 and 10 over 4.
We placed a piece of acetate with the paper measurements in sharpie marker down first, then the inked plexi, then the soaked paper, a piece of newsprint, and a top layer of acetate before laying the blankets down.
Here Andrea is pulling her print through the press.
After it goes through the press she peeled it up to reveal her print.
We each will make five prints and combine them into accordion books in session six.
