Join us at Culture Commons Gallery for an Artist Talk and Workshop with printmaker Juan de Dios Mora. In this demonstration, Mora will showcase the fundamentals of monotype printing. This method offers a straightforward, intuitive, and enjoyable way to experience and explore indirect printing. The demonstration will concentrate on making monotypes by applying oil-based ink onto a CD, creating the image through the reductive drawing technique. Participants will have the opportunity to learn, create, and print their own monotype prints on paper using an etching press. No previous printmaking experience is necessary, and all materials will be supplied.

This event is part of the programming for Built on Legacy: Artists of San Antonio, an exhibition that celebrates the rich artistic heritage of the city; it honors the multi-generational talent of local artists whose creativity and perseverance have shaped San Antonio’s artistic landscape. Collectively, these artists represent the enduring legacy of artistic excellence, community, and cultural pride that defines San Antonio. The exhibition is open to the public free of charge Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. through January 15, 2027.
