The Vicksburg Art Association presents a Mono-Print workshop on Saturday and Sunday, October 14 and 15, 2006, in the historic Old Constitution Firehouse - corner of Main and Openwood - in downtown Vicksburg.

Odom’s education includes the Arrowmont School of Art and Craft, Ringling School of Art and Design, Louisiana Tech University, University of Southern Mississippi, University of Hawaii, and the University of Southern Mississippi. She is represented by the following galleries:

Attic Gallery - Vicksburg, Ms.
A Gallery - Hattiesburg, Ms.

Bonnie Busby Gallery - Meridian, Ms.
Martha Maby Gallery - Biloxi, Ms.
Guess Gallery - Hattiesburg, Ms.
Billie Shelburn Gallery - Brasstown, North Carolina

This workshop will demonstrate the use of yupo paper and acrylic glazing liquid to create acrylic mono-prints without the need of a press. Participants should be able to make three prints from each inking plus the original yupo plate which may then be treated with mixed media—craypas, papers, stamps, etc.—limited only by one’s imagination. Participants can expect to get three prints from each plate and perhaps produce some creative serial pieces. The workshop should produce six to eight works.

A list of supplies is provided at registration. Participants can bring their own supplies, or supplies can be furnished for an additional fee.
