Think experimentation, colour and satisfying results. Monoprinting Explained Monoprinting is a wonderful, forgivable process, perfect for people new to creating or those who are keen to have fun and let go creatively. It involves rolling out a thin layer of paint/ink, placing paper on top and applying pressure with curios tools (such as forks, tin foil, pasta and our fingertips) to make textural marks. 🌈 Weaving 11-1pm In the afternoon we will learn how to weave our unique monoprints together to create original art full of colour, texture and joy!
