Introduction to Mono-Print with Sasha Compton
Monoprinting is an expressive printmaking technique that yields one-of-a-kind and surprising results. The best things happen when you let go and enjoy the process of creating, and with monoprinting, the opportunities for experimentation are endless. This class will be focused on possibilities, positivity and play, using interesting objects from around Green & Stone as inspiration. You will also be looking at contemporary artists such as Hockney, Matisse and Emin who explore different takes on contemporary monoprints.
All levels are welcome.
All art materials provided by Green & Stone.
We will be monoprinting on St Cuthberts Mill Somerset® paper.
Drinks kindly provided by Tom Savano Cocktails.
