Artist's Thoughts
About the morning:
Explore monoprinting as art-making medium, using textured items, printing inks and a home-made gelli-slab. I will step-by-step guide you through the printmaking process and demonstrate as we go along. Monoprinting is a highly satisfying medium to experiment with. It’s effortless and full of pleasant surprises! Bring your friends or treat yourself to a morning of creative fun.
In this art making workshop where you will learn to:
Use gelli-plates to create monoprints; (I will provide a gelli-plate for every participant to work on.)
Experiment with colours / textures / shapes and stencils using a variety of printmaking objects, e.g. plant material / paper / fabric etc.
Please bring textured items for printing, such as soft plants and flowers; lace or textured fabric; paper cuttings, feathers, or anything else to create texture or shape in your monoprint. We can share the items between the group, so you do not have to bring a lot. Also bring some old magazines and an apron.

You are welcome to bring your own choice of art paper for your best prints: A4-size; 160gms or thicker; smooth, multimedia art paper. Or any other interesting paper, such as wallpaper, tissue paper etc.
I will have enough paper available for everyone – but the larger the variety, the better!
