Discover the magic of monotype printmaking in our hands-on workshops—learn plate and screenprinting techniques to create one-of-a-kind prints. A monotype is a unique print made by painting or drawing on a smooth plate or screen and transferring that image to paper, producing a single original impression. Perfect for beginners and experienced makers, you’ll experiment with textures, inks, and layering to produce vibrant, expressive artworks to take home. All materials provided, just bring your sense of experimentation and adventure.

Duhon James’ artwork visualizes Navajo life through a rotating cast of imagery, including stars, corn, water, teeth, textiles, hogans, and the universe. Drawing from observations of the cosmos through the seasons and stories shared by their grandmother and parents, their prints reflect their culture and explore the roles of women, prayer, and time. For them, time is a never-ending cycle. Their work also honors the elders who have brought each generation into the world and continue to teach through their knowledge, stories, and the traditions they pass on.
