MIDDLETOWN, NY — To complement his solo show, artist Bruce Bleach will hold a master class on printmaking on Wednesday, November 8 from 5:15 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. at the Orange Hall Gallery.

Bleach’s works are currently on view in the gallery in a show titled “Bruce R. Bleach ~ a Retrospective: Fifty-four Years and Counting,”

The master class, titled “Printmaking with Bruce Bleach: Monotype,” is free and open to the public. Bleach is a master printmaker who uses various techniques. In this class, he will explain basic printmaking and the necessary tools, paper and inks. He will assist participants in creating their own monotypes, which they can take home.

A monotype is considered one of a kind and does not employ repeatable elements. Art materials will be provided. Attendees can bring their own tools for mark making, which adds texture. 

Attendees should prepare for a messy experience and pack smocks, aprons and hand cleaner. 

Registration is not required.

Orange Hall is located at 24 Grandview Ave. Free parking is available in the adjacent lot #1.
