Jeffrey Hirst -Silkscreen Monotypes Hirst Studio, Chicago

Silkscreen Monotype

Join me for Painterly Prints: Silkscreen Monotypes in June 2025! I've been teaching this popular class online for several years and have decided to introduce it in person at my Chicago studio. I have used the process extensively in my work since 2020. The process is super spontaneous, fast, and full of surprises!

 

What is a Silkscreen Monotype? It's an intuitive process that combines painting and print to arrive at an image. Artists paint and draw directly onto a silkscreen, and then, using water-based media, the image on the screen is printed (transferred) onto paper. The class will also cover printing water-based media, R & F Pigment Sticks, and combining water—and oil-based media onto paper.
