Technique
• Artist Mitch Lyons developed a method to make monoprints/monotypes by adding colored clay slips, not ink, to a slab of wet clay (matrix).
• The clay slips are mixed with permanent pigments to achieve brilliant colors.
• Textures and stencils are added.• Damp paper is placed over the design and rolled
with a wooden rolling pin.• The results are incredibly sophisticated.
