MONOPRINTING - Thin layers and more

Thank you for enrolling in - Monoprinting with Andrew Totman at The Makers Studio Central Coast Inc.

The course is suitable for both beginners or people wishing to continue to explore a range of contemporary techniques in printmaking.

The course will be on 30 and 31 May from 10am - 4 pm daily

Join printmaker Andrew Totman for an immersive weekend of monoprinting, where you’ll explore the expressive possibilities of mark-making, texture, and spontaneous image creation.

During the workshop, you’ll experiment with a range of mono printing techniques including line transfer, stencils, and subtractive methods using mono print plates and a variety of drawing tools. You’ll discover how mono printing allows for rich, layered results that combine elements of painting, drawing, and traditional printmaking into a single, one-of-a-kind image.

You’ll learn how to ink a plate, create both bold and delicate marks, and use masking materials, textures, and hand-drawn elements to develop dynamic prints.

Participants are asked to bring in found objects such as leaves and feathers,

Aprons and covered shoes are required.
