NDSU Visual Arts and the Printmaking Education and Research Studio’s annual summer printmaking workshop will feature printmaker Nichole Maury, associate professor of art at Western Michigan University. The workshop is scheduled for June 11-22 at Renaissance Hall.

Maury will present “The Non-Repeatable Print,” introducing students to monotype and monoprint screenprinting techniques, with a focus on content and experimentation. Students will learn a variety of non- and semi-repeatable mark-making techniques.

The workshop also will include such topics as development of serial and ghost imagery; improvement of color use in combination with transparency and texture; design of a water-based screenprinting studio; and creating an exchange portfolio.

Maury will conduct a lecture at 6 p.m. on June 12 at Renaissance Hall. Her work will be exhibited June 1-30 in the Memorial Union Gallery with a reception scheduled for noon on Tuesday, June 12.

The workshop is available for professional development or university credit. The registration and housing deadline is May 14.
