Mono-type for Beginners with with Julie Anne Haines
Saturday 16th May 10.00am - 16.00pm
This one-day workshop offers an introduction to Mono-type, a unique and expressive printmaking technique that as the name suggests produces a single one of a kind original print.
Julie- Anne will start by introducing her own work and that of artists both past and present working in monotype techniques. Participants will then use a printing press, working in monochrome explore texture and tone using a variety of mark making tools such as rollers, brushes and a range of less conventional drawing materials. In the afternoon we will move into colour and explore and experiment with different layering techniques to produce more complex images.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have gained knowledge and confidence in this most painterly and spontaneous of techniques and have produced a small series of their own unique and original monotype prints.
Cost €120. Maximum participants 5
