Monotype printmaking breaks the boundaries of classic forms of printmaking by combining the act of drawing and painting and creating one of a kind images.
Through this workshop, we will use the newly developed techniques of gelli plate printmaking to create form, color, line and begin to discuss the technical approaches of making a non editioned images. These techniques are important as they do not require a press, nor do they require much set up, and can be done from home and continued in all spaces as we will be using non toxic inks.
The beauty of monotype is allowance of pure expression without the constraints of weighing expectations. We will be using printmaking to be our personal forms of catharsis as we create a series of works through this workshop.
