£95 including all materials
Explore lino and monoprinting techniques which can easily be recreated in a home studio without using a press. You will experiment with transfer drawing, subtractive and painterly methods, and paper stencils to create A4 monoprints. Use the hand-burnishing technique to print lino cuts and be shown how to extend and develop these prints through using masking and layering and, by combining these 2 techniques, see the endless possibilities afforded by printing without a press. By the end of this course, you will have a selection of prints to take home.
