Monotype for Everyone
Workshop with Marwin BegayeMarwin Begaye: Monotype
June 10-14, 2024
Limited to 8 – 4 seats left
You could be the worlds most knowledgeable printmaker, and monotype will teach you something. You could be walking into a printmaking studio for the very first time, and will leave confident that you can do this by yourself. Monotype truly is for anyone and everyone. It’s hard to describe how it is that one uses all the tools of printmaking yet shed all of the complexity.
An internationally exhibited artist, Marwin Begaye examines the issues of cultural identity through the intersection of American Indian and popular cultures. His ongoing research investigates the technical processes related to printmaking and construction of mixed-media art. He has received numerous awards as an Artist in Residence and through juried exhibitions, often negotiating the cultivation of his own skills and opening doors for his students. His work has been featured in numerous publications and he maintains an active exhibition schedule, featured in exhibitions in New Zealand, England, Argentina, Paraguay, Italy, Siberia and Estonia. He is in private, museum collections and the United States Library of Congress, Prints and Photograph Division.
