Money & Politics: Print Money!

Monotype Print Workshop Saturday, July 7

Current exhibit, Looming Election: Woven Works

Money and politics have been forever woven together!
What Debt Crisis? We printed our own money ...

Workshop participants, with workshop teacher Christina Carroll,
solved their own artistic debt crisis by printing their own
currency-themed monotype prints with imaginative denominations,
faces of unknown leaders and symbols of their own happiness, hope and security. 

Attendees, unapologetic, crafted their own money-themed monotypes while an American flag stood watching (a weaving by Consuelo Jimenez Underwood) and a printing press stood nearby.

Educational Outreach: 'Imaginary Landscape' picture book made of monotype prints ...






Recently, eleven 7-8 year old children from Park Century School had fun making monotypes with Los Angeles artist Christina Carroll and her small press. The kids expresses themselves with water soluble ink to make landscapes, tying in their curriculum at school. Their original prints were made into an accordion book and given to the school, and each child received a color reproduction of their collaborative book. Happy Summer kids! We loved having their energy and look forward to the Fall.

We want YOU kids! Cool exhibits and creative artists await to work with you, your teachers and your school curriculum. Come play with us here at the Craft in America Study Center!
