Create expressive monotype prints, building colours and textures in layers.
Monotype is a highly tactile and adaptable printmaking process that allows you to build an image in layers, with a variety of mark-making methods, including stencilling, drawing and painting. In this workshop, you will be guided through techniques that will successfully give you a wide variety of effects, and a means of interpreting a personal response to subject matter.
Once you have tried these techniques and gained confidence in what is possible with this addictive process, you will be encouraged to create expressive monotype prints, building colours and textures in layers. You will be shown hand printing techniques that can be easily repeated at home after the workshop.
All materials will be provided, be prepared to get inky fingers!
For further information on monotype printmaking, read Monotype Printmaking for beginners on the Jackson’s Art Blog.
