Monoprinting uses a plate and stencil process and multiple layers of oil-based ink to make unique prints.
This process is a great first introduction into printmaking – you’ll learn about inks and paper, and use our fantastic range of etching presses and equipment in the workshop.
Starting out with simple shapes and block colours you can build up monoprints with complex designs, textures and shades to create a series of prints onto paper.
This course will introduce you to some of the processes you can access at Leeds Print Workshop and give you the basic skills to continue using them after the course. The tutor will demonstrate:
Monoprinting – using oil based relief printing inks you will produce one-off multicolour prints working with paper stencils and our presses.
Collograph – you will use collage to create images that will be printed using our our presses.
