This hands-on workshop will introduce you to the expressive and accessible process of silk screen monotype printing.

Over three hours, participants will be guided through the fundamentals of working with a screen as a unique mark-making surface rather than a repeatable stencil. Using simple tools, drawing techniques, and a playful approach to ink, you’ll create one-off prints that capture gesture, atmosphere, and experimentation.

Please be prepared to make some sketches. This session is ideal for painters and printmakers looking to express their work in a spontaneous way.
