De- bunking the theory that an artistic creation is the product of lonely hours spent la a garret somewhere, Carol Reynolds of Bowmanville or- ganized a monotype printing workshop for 17 aspiring artists. With Whitby artist, Peter Vangils, as teacher and 15 pounds of paper the art enthusiasts set to work with gusto.' I was there late Saturday afternoon, when the weekend session was just about half Uv-, al ly a ay produced 300 prints. Mr. Vangils was quick to point out that about 90 per cent of these works would not be kept, but his students did not show quite the same off-hand manner about their work. Although they criticized their own work ruthlessly, they seemed to eye it protectively whenever they thought no-one was looking. The principle of monotpe printing sounds simple buy, they assured me that simple ideas are often the hardest to execute. Oil paint is rolled onto a pane of glass and then shapes and textures are appli- ed in an attempt to achieve a balanced composition. Anoth- er technique that is used is again rolling the glass with oil, again rolling the glass with oil paint and then scraping it clean with a putty knife in deliberate design. The compo- sitions are "printed" by laying the glass carefully over a clean piece of paper paint side down and applying pres- sure by rolling on the top with a clean roller. As Peter Vangils points out the results are never exactly what one expects. Of course, the more skillful one becomes the more predictable are the results. Everyone at the workshop seeme to be very interested in working on series. A basic colour ground is chosen and then bits of paper towelling or cloth, smudged with a con- trasting or blending color, are arranged carefully on the ground. After the first print is rolled, the arrangement of the p ieces îs changed slightly or a f acpiece of string is added, and the print is taken again. Of course with each success- ive "printing", the ground colour lightens and, although the basic components of the design reman constant, great changes result from altering their relationships to each otheraor addinga connective, such as the string. The process is called "mon- otype printing" because no matter how carefully one retraces his steps, the same print cani neyer be repeated. This suits Peter Vangils pérfectly. "Ive always liked surprises," he smiles. The workshop participants were very pleased with the facilitiesrat the old Cream of Barley Mill. They were obvi- ously enjoyimg a freer atmos- phere than they would have had at a school. Their prints wèeetacked up to dry on every conceivable vertical surface. They didn't have to worry about the loor or disturbing the arrangement of someone's classroom. And best ofall they weren't charged any rent. Consequently tbey were able egion, eecare. He went on to point out how limited the facîlities for the arts were in Durham. Accord- ing to Mr. Vangils with McLaughlin Gallery is simply a prestige showcase for the work of established artists of national or even international reputation. He does not feel there is any place in the whole region for local artists to show their work. Another printing workshop is being planned for the autumn of 1975 because of the tremendous success of this- project. Of the 17 people who attended 10 were from Bow- manville, two were from Whitby, two were from Osh- awa, one was from Orono and two were imports from Tor- onto and Montreal. BETHANY Mr. and Mrs. Cecil White of Bancroft were weekend guests with Mr. and Mrs. Frank White.
