In this fun and inspiring workshop you will learn a number of monoprint techniques. The beauty of this type of printing lies in its spontaneity and ability to combine printmaking, painting and mark making. On this one day workshop you will learn how to use oil-based inks, paper stencils and our etching presses to create your own prints on paper. Using stencil monoprint to create, overlapping colour mixing abstract forms, layered images and structured patterns.
You will also have the opportunity to experiment with painterly mark making techniques. These types of prints often result in interesting textures and marks that cannot be created through direct painting.
All materials will be provided.
This course is intended for adults and limited to 6 participants. Booking is essential. Further course information and what to bring on the day will be sent to all participants via email in advance of the workshop.
Clothing: We will be working with inks that do not easily wash out of clothing. Wear old clothes and bring an apron/old shirt etc. as cover-up. Avoid loose, dangly sleeves, which can be a safety hazard.
Food and drinks: East Quay Kitchen offers a delicious menu that caters for most dietary preferences, but you are welcome to bring your own lunch and snacks to eat in the studio or the courtyard. Tea and coffee will be provided.
Parking: There is no on-site parking for visitors to East Quay. Harbour Road pay and display car park is convenient but costly. There is unrestricted parking along Doniford Road, and other residential streets off that, a very short walk to East Quay via Goviers Lane.
