This class is run in collaboration with Lexington High School’s Munroe Art Mentors Club, headed by co-presidents Hannah Sul and Khadijah Mohmand. The program was developed to provide more opportunities for local students to connect, after Sul joined MCA's volunteer community and summer camp staff. The club encourages local teens to get involved in the arts, participate in the community, and develop leadership experiences as positive role models for younger student bases. |

Monotype Printmaking
Age 16+, including Adults
Tuesdays, 3:30PM - 6PM
October 21 - November 18, no class 11/11 (Partial semester)
Instructor - Stephanie Stigliano
$204 + $25 materials fee
This partial semester class will provide an overview of monotype, or monoprint, printmaking techniques. Known as “the painterly print”, students will utilize botanical imagery and color palettes to create a print that is unique every time. Painting techniques such as layering and color theory can enhance the prints, using soft printing papers that lend themselves to soft transitions, high contrast, and delicate lines. Students can expect to create a few unique compositions, or use the printing press and “ghost” prints to build up the same composition in differing ways.
All experience levels are welcome, and ideal for any type of painter. The printmaking studio utilizes non-toxic materials; all students are asked to review the 2025-26 printmaking studio guidelines (provided upon registration) ahead of their first class in the space.
