Workshop Times
9:45am - 4:45pm Saturday 6th June and 9:45am - 4:45pm Sunday 7th June
A monotype is a direct and painterly method for producing unique prints, simply by making the transfer of ink from printing plate to paper.
In this 2-day workshop we will explore various approaches to monoprinting and mediums for monotype prints. We will work with tonal range in black and white and experiment with working in colour. Participants are encouraged to bring in sketchbooks and ideas for developing work over the two days.
Master Printmaker, Alfons Bytautas will guide us though ideas and experiments to widen our range of skills and knowledge of this printmaking style.
