Would you like to learn more about monoprinting, the painterly approach to screen prints? This is a fun, versatile and quick form of printmaking that combines the spontaneity of painting and drawing with the process of printmaking. You’ll add textures to your images and learn to paint directly onto the screen, using color inks, watercolors and even acrylic paint. Our studio uses non-toxic water-based inks and cleaning techniques. You'll learn how to add hand-cut stencils to you work, building up rich and full images. You will also learn to mix colors, use inks and additives, and layer inks to create prints, and you will leave with many complete prints to share and enjoy!
