Sarah Amos

New Water based Techniques in Collagraph Printing - “Making Prints that have Optical vibrancy and Graphic punch”.

Sarah Amos has taken this printmaking discipline to a new level due to her persistent experimentation and her refined aesthetic. Amos is enthralled with the Collagraph /Monoprint technique that she has perfected over 25 years of experience. The multiple plate process and layering technique that Amos primarily uses is a wonderful way to achieve a rich painterly surface with both oil paint and Etching ink,

This three-day class explores both Collagraph and Monoprinting techniques on mat board, which is used to create unique paintings on Paper. Artists will learn the multiple plate system and its registration capabilities, layering and application of paint, stenciling. Water based drawing techniques will be demonstrated with emphasis on making larger prints using the French seam technique The Collagraph technique will also be introduced in this process, as a vital component to the overall image .We will learn how to scrape, incise and perforate the surface to create wonderful textures of pattern and organic line. Sarah will also share her own work to illustrate techniques and give independent and class critiques to all participants.

 The use of Non Toxic materials are also emphasized and discussed at length due to Amos’s heightened sensitivity to such materials during her printmaking career.
Artists can expect to create a body of work (6-12 finished prints) during this workshop and are encouraged to explore and play.

Sarah Amos lives in East Fairfield, Vermont, USA where she teaches Printmaking classes in her home studio and also maintains an active exhibition schedule of her own work despite her intense commitment to teaching other artists . Sarah shows her work at Heather Gaudio Fine Art, CT, USA and  Flinders Lane Gallery, Melbourne and is a rotating Adjunct Professor at Dartmouth, Williams and Bennington Colleges where she teaches Printmaking and Drawing.
