Workshop Details
This workshop explores the inspiring and varied techniques of Monoprinting, combining processes and materials from Collagraph and Etching. We will be using the etching press to obtain extra richness, detail and character in our prints. Working with a variety of diverse mark-making tools and media to create unique and innovative prints on quality papers, we will also experiment with printing on fabric. We will be working on surfaces such as steel, glass, mountboard and plastic. During the workshop we will also look into rich textures, tactile collage and paper cut-outs.
