Explore Monoprint with Denise Durkin (Summer School) 2021

Of all the printmaking methods, mono printing is the most spontaneous, responsive and versatile, being the medium for everything from abstract expressionism to hyper photographic realism. Simple and direct with the minimum of equipment and media, mono printing is approachable for any age or ability level, yet the creative potential is unlimited.

Planned here is a four-day workshop to introduce mono printing from simple hand printing, spontaneous transfer methods through to working with presses and multiple matrices.

For people starting in printmaking and people already with an art practice in any media. We will experiment with a whole new method of mark-making, transfer and texture to build skill level and also provide a cross-discipline change to invigorate your existing art practise of painting or drawing.

Also, you will be introduced to a progressive evolution development technique for learning and to push yourself into new areas of creativity that can be applied to other art practices and media.

All basic materials provided.
