We are excited to present Local Project's very own Board President, June Kosloff for our online fundraiser.

"Monoprinting with Heroes & Poetry"

June will teach a simple monoprinting process using 4 colors of paint( acrylic best) on paper or on any surface available in your home.

The session will be broken into parts. June will discuss about a hero that served as an inspiration in her life, artmaking and how she incorporates it into her artmaking process.

Her inspirations are Monster by Eminem and Helen Frankenthaler painter . She will lead a short discussion at the beginning followed by a demonstration on how to make a simple monoprinting and free association poetry method to create a finished piece.
