| Explore the expressive potential of mono-printing in this 10-week course, where each print is a unique result of mark-making, layering, and experimentation. Learn how to work with ink, paint, and printing plates to create richly textured artworks that celebrate spontaneity and variation. The term monotype comes from the Greek word mono, meaning “one”—and that’s exactly what this printmaking process offers: singular, unrepeatable impressions. Over ten weeks, you’ll discover how to draw with printer’s ink or paint onto glass, and other smooth surfaces, and transfer your designs by hand onto paper. You’ll experiment with direct drawing, ghost prints, and additive/subtractive techniques, learning how each approach yields different textures and effects. Because the pigment left on the plate after printing is rarely enough for an exact duplicate, every print is a one-off—making mono-printing a perfect medium for expressive, intuitive image-making. Whether you’re new to printmaking or looking to expand your creative toolkit, this course offers a hands-on, exploratory approach to a versatile and rewarding process. There is no half term break on this course. |
