Often referred to as ‘painterly’ printmaking, monotype is a type of print made by drawing or painting with ink on a smooth surface. The image is then transferred to paper using a press. Unlike other printmaking techniques, the resulting image is a ‘one off’ that cannot be repeated. Best known for rich tones and spontaneous mark making, monotype is an easy to explore medium requiring no previous printmaking experience.  This two day workshop will give a thorough introduction to a number of ways to use monotype including black and white 'maner noir' and multi colour direct transfer methods.  For details and bookings see: https://www.megalo.org/learning

Wood Engraving

WOOD ENGRAVING is a relief printing technique where the hard end grain of wood is used for engraving an image, rather than the softer side grain used in woodcuts. Wood engraving was traditionally used for illustrations in books and can achieve a fine clean line. In this course you will be taught how to prepare your wood block, use engraving tools to make a range of marks, and print your image.
