Pride Print Lab – Trace Monotype with Ash Hay
Celebrate Pride at Print Lab with Ash Hay! Learn trace monotype printmaking in this social art workshop. No experience needed, create art to take home.
program overview
Roll up your sleeves and join us for a fun Print Lab evening celebrating Pride Month, with special guest, Ash Hay – one of our featured June Causeway Gallery artists!
Print Lab is not a traditional class, but an affordable art-making experience. Our mission is to explore a creative arts technique socially with our community. We welcome you to print, play and experiment with an activity to create something unique in our printmaking studio!
This month we will explore a fun printmaking technique known as Trace Monotype.
Trace monotypes involve drawing directly onto an inked plate and do not require the use of a press! The pressure of the pencil transfers the ink to the paper, creating a soft look to prints with unlimited options. Guests will learn about the variety of mark making, and explore expressive textures on an inky surface.
Ash Hay will give a short artist talk, and teach the basics of creating trace monotypes, a printmaking process they enjoy using to create prints. They will share their process of incorporating layered prints, as well as utilizing mixed media. Come join us, make some monotypes to take home, and explore the possibilities!
Enjoy light refreshments during this printmaking activity. No previous experience is necessary!

Class FAQ
We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.
Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee (minus the payment processing and services fee), or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.
All credits must be used within 1 year.
