Description
A Monoprint is a form of printmaking where the image can only be made once because it has been treated in a unique way through inking, wiping or the use of chîne collé. You will use found textured objects and materials including textured papers, leaves, feathers and fabrics to create original multi-coloured and layered A4 sized images. You will be able to experiment with ghost or shadow prints, masking, reduction prints, counter proofs and layered prints. You will also be able to add in Drypoint etchings and work with translucent and opaque inks, using presses and try hand printing methods. By the end of the day you will have at least 10 x A4 prints to take home.
