Participants will be guided through the process of creating unique prints using the ‘reduction’ method of monoprinting. We will spend our time creating images onto flat acetate plates which have been inked up, drawing into and wiping back to create images which will then be transferred to beautiful printmaking paper through a small press.

This technique of monoprinting is ideal for all levels of artistic experience, allowing for great expression and play of the wet ink on the plate, and producing a unique print on paper to keep. This workshop is designed to be fun and fulfilling.

All materials will be supplied and set up ready for participants to get stuck into making prints, allowing maximum time to create! The inks used are all water based allowing easy clean up and low toxicity. We will use quality printmaking papers, including some Japanese papers, and all tools and rags etc are provided. We will have 3 small printing presses operational so there will be no waiting to print!

BYO apron or clothes covering. Closed toe/covered shoes are also required. Bring along images you may wish to use as reference material.
