Michele Frantz is the Guest Speaker

If you are interested in printmaking without a bunch of expensive supplies, you'll enjoy April's program on monoprints. Professional artist Michele Frantz will share some collagraphs (where a printing plate is made by gluing various items to a piece of cardboard) as well as demonstrating some ways to pull prints from a Gelli plate. We'll get to see examples of some of the effects that can be achieved and hear experience driven advice on materials, as well as learn the difference between a monotype and a monoprint.


Michele says "I've been intrigued by printmaking ever since being introduced to it in college, but have only recently taken them up again. For some reason, I just love the flatness of color I get with prints; it's so different from the way I paint".She has been an active member of the Manassas art scene for many years and is a well known art instructor. You can check out some of her work (and play) on her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ArcadiaAS


Michele is also the founding member of the p-ART-ners art group, a current or former member of the Art Guild of Clifton, the Prince William Art Society, the Manassas Art Guild, and the Blue Ridge Art Guild. You can read more about her at Arcadia Art Studio.

The Prince William Art Society meetings are free and open to the public - who are invited to attend. Meetings begin at 7:30 pm at the Tall Oaks Community Center, 12298 Cotton Mill Dr., Lake Ridge VA 22192. We hope to see you there!

May 4, 2024 UPDATE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, this meeting had to be cancelled and the guest speaker has been rescheduled for the June 24th PWAS Meeting.
