Encinitas, - San Diego Botanic Garden, Ecke Bldg, October
30th, Artist Anne Moore presented a print making demonstration, making for
an inspirational afternoon as over 60
curious beginners, advanced artists gathered with the general public to get a
peek at the art of creative printmaking of Anne Moore
Anne demonstrated her monotype techniques using a small
printmaking press. She will discuss various types of printmaking, showing us
her step by step process. Anne’s usage of multiple runs through the press
creates a rich layering of color. This was a playful and creative process where
each print was a unique surprise. .
Each of the prints represented were an original piece of
art, created by heart and hand, and the use of a press. The linocuts are made
from hand-cut linoleum blocks and reproduced in limited editions. The monotypes
are one-of-a-kind (thus "mono"), built up from layers of imaginative
forms on inked plates. Each is unique to itself. Printmaking, a delicate art
from a heavy press, who’d have thought?
While still very much a student, Anne continued to enjoy
the hands-on, contemplative work, the surprise of pulling a new print, the
reward of seeing effort, experience and innovation unite. She is especially
gratified when the registration is right on; the press pressure is perfect, and
when I haven't gotten inky fingerprints on the luscious white paper
The Guild would like to thank Anne Moore for presenting a
wonderful demonstration and to Sandy Heath, Programs Chair for coordinating the
event.and our PR Photographer, nick Chill.
A special thanks to the City of Encinitas and the Mizel Family Foundation,
for assisting us in making this demonstration possible to the public.
