Workshops

Description

In this two-day workshop we will cover an introduction to monotype and some basic principles, followed by an exploration of some unique techniques that will open up new ways of using this traditional medium.

Monotype is known for its painterly quality where a unique print is achieved. It is a type of printmaking made by drawing or painting on a smooth, non-absorbent surface. The surface was historically a copper plate, but in contemporary work it can vary from zinc or glass to acrylic and Perspex. The image is then transferred onto a paper by pressing the two together, using etching press, brayer or by techniques with which most printmakers started exploring this medium, such as rubbing with the back of a wooden spoon or the fingers.

We will be using water-based inks, without the need for a press.
