Monotypes are one of a kind prints that combine printing, painting, and drawing techniques with surprising and painterly results. In the course we will create monotypes with and without the press, using both additive and reductive techniques. 

This is a great workshop for beginners, intermediate, and experienced printmakers who want to loosen up and embrace painterly mark making. Students will leave with multiple unique prints, a full understanding of how to create their own monotype prints at home and in the studio, and the renewed energy to create.

What you’ll learn: ​​​​

• Techniques and required tools for press based monotype printing
• Mixing, applying and storing ink
• Using the press
• How to pull accurate prints
• Troubleshooting and how to use accidents to your advantage
• Cleanup and finishing your prints
