What is MONOTHON2011?
The CCP 13th annual marathon of monotype printing starts with printing sessions, an opportunity for artists to work with master printers in art-intensive, five-hour sessions to create original monotypes. This year, Artists' Printing Sessions were held from October 16 through 22, a Youth Monothon took place October 23, and printing sessions ended with the Outreach Monothon for Briggs High School students on October 24

What is a Monotype?
Monotype prints are made by drawing or painting with ink directly onto a printing plate. The plate is placed in contact with paper and run through a printing press, producing a one-of-a-kind print.

   What Happens During a Printing Session?
   Each MONOTHON artist is assisted by a Master
   Printer and a Press Assistant. All materials are
   provided; artists may create up to ten prints during
   each session.
