Come and join our visiting tutor Preeti Sood for a one day intensive workshop for a one of kind experience with an established printmaker and artist. 

Monoprinting allows considerable freedom in the approach to imagery, this is considered to be a very versatile method. You can decide to work positively or negatively, to use oil based inks, to incorporate other materials or not. Working positively means that the artist/you will put down imagery with brushes or rollers. Working negatively means that ink is removed with hands, rags, cotton swabs or anything pointed. The directness of painting directly on the plate requires a little skill of drawing and painting as well as a sure hand and a considerable degree of spontaneity. The marks explored are very different and interesting compared to drawing as through this process we are drawing indirectly and the image is the reverse of the marks made onto paper. You can also use textured material to explore the ephemeral quality that material has to provide. 

Monoprinting is a technique and can be done by using presses or without depending on your individual work. For this process, you will need to bring your ideas any specific materials that you are interested in seeing as a 2D print and paper.
