Monotype printing is a fascinating technique for creating exciting artwork. Images can be made using specialized inks that are applied by rolling or painting onto non-porous plates. These plates may then be altered with sgraffito to add the look of texture and design. After that, an impression of the image is transferred onto paper.

Wan Marsh will be offering a Collage Workshop on January 24th at the Arts Center in Hartsville. The workshop will take place from 10am to 4pm. Lunch will be provided. Cost for the workshop is $110. Spaces are filling quickly.

Marsh's work has been featured in several publications and won numerous awards. Marsh studied art at the Governor's School of North Carolina at Salem College in Winston Salem. She has also studied at The Penland School of Crafts, the Mint Museum and CPCC in Charlotte North Carolina. Wan has degrees in design and horticulture. Marsh's mixed media collages consist of, but are not limited to paint, paper, wood, glass, fiber and found objects. She also incorporates many of her unique decorative painting techniques to achieve unlimited effects.
