Monoprints are one-off unique prints. You do not create a permanent block, so there is no carving or gluing things down, meaning monoprints are flexible, easy and quick to produce. In this workshop we will be using a small-portable printing press to produce several prints using all sorts of materials such as net, lace, leaves, fabrics and bubble wrap. There will be plenty of materials supplied but you might like to bring some things of your own along – anything that has an interesting texture to print such as leaves, feathers or interesting fabrics. Items need to be fairly dry, not too thick, and that you don’t mind getting covered in ink. It is also possible to print onto fabric, such as calico, so you are welcome to bring some material along. It should be slightly larger than A5 and ironed flat.
