During these workshop you will have opportunity to learn monotype and create from 1 to 6 postcards.
We will start with a 30 min lecture introducing you to these type of printing technique, different stages of process and possibilities of printing. Then we will get right into practice. Each participant will have the opportunity to create their own drawing according to their personal design. In this master class you will make 1-6 copies of one print on A6 DIN paper.
A monotype is a print, but with one major difference from other printmaking processes: the artist creates exactly one print, instead of multiples. This is due to the way a monotype is made. To make a monotype, the artist applies paint or ink directly onto the plate — which can be metal, glass, plexiglas. The plate is pressed against the paper to transfer the ink. The printing is done on a printing press. It’s a simple process that allows for lots of experimentation and variation. The artist can create layered prints, use objects as masks between plate and paper, or selectively apply pressure to create a trace monotype. After the first print is pulled, there will be some ink left on the plate for a second, fainter "ghost print".
