The Madison Art Society will host a monoprint demonstration by artist John Massimino on June 2, 2016 at 6:30. The demo will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will be held at the Madison Senior Center, 29 Bradley Road, Madison. Traditional forms of printmaking produce a series of prints in an edition. Editions are comprised of multiple prints.
A monoprint is just as the word implies; the process produces only one print. It is an art form that has an element of surprise and serendipity. Degas favored monoprints, often working over them with pastels.

After receiving his BFA from Hartford Art School, John travelled throughout the continental United States, Italy and Hawaii as an artist, teacher, lecturer and juror.
