Workshop on monoprinting with natural materials

Monoprint is a printing technique where you can make 1 print at a time. Each print made has a unique character. You work with printing ink (water-based) and ink rollers on paper. We will make the prints with the etching press we have available in the classroom.
In this workshop you will make prints of flowers, leaves and/or grasses. You will experiment with colors and compositions. And you will learn to think in positive and negative prints and play with that. You will also print in color layers on top of each other.
Monoprint is a simple technique with surprisingly beautiful results!

Price: € 70,-
All materials for printing are provided in class.
What you bring yourself (if you have it): a clean tea towel, some old magazines or newspapers, an old cleaning cloth and an apron or clothes that can get dirty.
You may also bring leaves, grasses or flowers that inspire you. Please note that the botanical materials should not be too thick: they should also be able to withstand being pressed flat under the etching press. It is best if they have had a few days to dry between some old newspapers under a pile of books. Then they are dry (but not too) and flat.
