Wednesday’s Create & Make Workshop: Printmaking: Monotypes

Wednesday, September 20, 2017


Printmaking: Monotypes, with Chris Kroehler
Create and Make Workshop

Wednesday, September 27th, 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Shoreline Center, 18560 1st Ave NE, Shoreline


Get your art on with the Create and Make Workshop Series! Wish you could pull up and give way to creative abandon from time to time? Look no further: The Create and Make Workshops are here and are guaranteed to be tons of adult-creative fun!

In this workshop, the technique of printing monotypes will be explored. Prints will be made by painting on plexiglass using ink/oil paint then pressed by hand onto sheets of paper. Stencils, watercolor, solvents, brushes, and other tools will be used to embellish the monotype prints. Students will learn that monoprinting is a form of printmaking that can only be made once, unlike most printmaking techniques, where multiple prints can be pulled.

Chris Kroehler has been teaching art to students in grades K-12 in the Shoreline School District for the past ten years. He also teaches adult drawing classes at Truth Teller Winery in Woodinville.

The workshop will take place on Wednesday, September 27th, and is held from 6:30 – 8:30pm in the Cromwell Room (south end, classroom wing) of the Shoreline Center, 18560 1st Ave NE, Shoreline 98155.

Tickets are $35 and available at BrownPaperTickets.com.

Want more creative adult fun? Check out the other Create and Make Workshops this season:

Masters of Evolution: the Promise and Peril of Genetic Engineering

Monday, March 27, 2017

North City Tech Meetup presents a speaker on the very current topic of Genome Editing (Genetic Engineering) Monday, April 3, 7-9pm, Shoreline Library Meeting Room, 345 NE 175th, 98155.

Bryan Bartley will speak on: Masters of Evolution: the Promise and Peril of Cas9 / CRISPR Genome Editing:

After years of quiet, incremental discoveries in basic research labs, Cas9-CRISPR genome editing has suddenly burst onto the scene as a potential disruptor technology.
Genome editing gives human beings the ability to rewrite DNA with potentially important applications in biomedicine and agriculture such as engineering disease-resistant crops, controlling disease-carrying insects , and curing inherited genetic diseases by modifying embryonic germ cells.

In this talk, he will provide an introductory background to the basic principles of molecular biology necessary to understand how this technology works. In addition, he will briefly survey work in this area at the University of Washington and discuss the ethical implications of gene-editing technology. 

Like all technology, public engagement is critical to ensuring that genome editing technology is developed with appropriate ethical, social, and legal safeguards. Will we become masters of our own evolution? 
Or does the specter of eugenics lurk in the shadows?

Speaker Biography: Bryan Bartley is a PhD student of Bioengineering at the University of Washington. His current research interests is synthetic biology, manipulating the genetics of the bacterium E. coli for industrial applications. His background includes biomedical research in diabetes, kidney disease, and cancer.

The North City Tech Meetup is a free meetup, usually the first Monday of each month at either the Shoreline or Lake Forest Park Library. This month’s event is Monday, April 3, 7pm at the Shoreline Public Library. The meetup is open to everyone. You may RSVP at the meetup page, and that is appreciated, but not required.


North City Tech Meetups follow an every-other-month schedule. One month they feature a speaker and alternate months are general discussions. They meet at either the Shoreline Library or Lake Forest Library depending on availability. Check out the Meetup site for each month’s topic.
