Introduction to Monoprinting

Monoprinting with Joseph Sabel!

Unlike the many forms of printmaking where you produce multiples of an image using one process, monoprinting gives you the freedom to use as many processes as you, the artist, see fit! Each class session, you'll create one unique piece of art to take home!

You'll learn various techniques to assist in creating monoprints using watercolors, screen print ink, graphite, and charcoal on silkscreens, make stencils and use ordinary household objects to bring your prints to life. Along with learning and practicing these processes, you'll also take away a general knowledge of how screen-printing works - from the types of inks used, to the tools and supplies needed to successfully screen print!
