Email10am - 1pm Come and experiment with the lovely medium of monoprinting as experienced printmaker Catherine Ade guides you through the process at The Lemonade Press!
Famously, the painter Degas used monotype, creating some of the most wonderful examples of the process. He also used this method as a way to make base layers for his paintings, showing how versatile it is.
There are several ways you can approach monotype and your host will talk you through the options before you get creative in the studio. You might choose to paint directly onto the plate, or maybe you’ll make negative marks by inking up the block in a colour and wiping areas away. You could even use leaves and objects to create marks in the ink film... the list goes on! Whichever method you choose, you’ll have a wonderful time getting hands-on and will create prints to be proud of.
At the end of this fun half-day experience, you’ll leave with a selection of prints that you have made during the workshop.
