Monoprinting Taster
Curious about printmaking? Discover the exciting world of monoprinting on this fun, hands-on workshop where every print is completely unique.
Using stencils, printing plates and richly coloured oil-based inks, you’ll explore a playful layering process to create bold, vibrant prints full of texture, depth and unexpected effects. Along the way, you’ll learn the fundamentals of printmaking, experiment with professional inks and papers, and use our fantastic etching presses and workshop equipment.
Starting with simple shapes and colour, you’ll gradually build up layered compositions, discovering how each print evolves in surprising and creative ways. Monoprinting is fast-paced, experimental and full of happy accidents, making it the perfect medium for exploring new ideas.
Who is it for?
This workshop is suitable for adults who are complete beginners as well as anyone with previous printmaking or artistic experience.
If you’re new to making art, monoprinting is an accessible and rewarding introduction, no drawing skills required. If you’re already an artist or maker, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to experiment, loosen up your practice and discover fresh ways of creating imagery.
What will I make?
Expect to create a vibrant portfolio of around 20–30 unique prints during the session. You’ll leave with a collection of colourful, layered monoprints on a variety of papers, along with the confidence to continue exploring this versatile and addictive printmaking technique.
