Class Description: Come join Tricia in this experimental workshop as we print our way through this fun and surprising process of creating a Mono Print from recycled materials. Using an assortment of bubble wrap, raffia, avocado, and citrus bags, paper, and plastic bags, we will create several abstract images to take home. By putting these materials through the press, we will create surprising abstract shapes and markings. This imperfect art form is a complete expression of what it means to be in the moment and creating something interesting, poetic, and beautiful.

Tricia O’Brien completed her BFA at Cal State Hayward (now, Cal State, East Bay) in Drawing, Painting, and Printmaking in 2001. She studied printmaking with Jimin Lee, earning a juried Award for Excellence in the 3-dimensional work of Xerox Photo Transfer for a hand-crafted book chronicling a trip to Death Valley with her family. In addition to creating Print Art, she currently hosts a weekly women’s writing group in Sonoma, where she lives with her husband.
