Monoprinting with Jackie Curtis

Create your own unique monoprint in this fun, creative workshop led by print-maker Jackie Curtis. Monoprints are one-off unique prints. You do not create a permanent block, so there is no carving or gluing things down, meaning monoprints are flexible, easy and quick to produce. In this workshop we will be using a small-portable printing press to produce several prints using all sorts of materials such as net, lace, leaves, fabrics and bubble wrap. There will be plenty of materials supplied but you might like to bring some things of your own along - anything that has an interesting texture to print such as leaves, feathers or interesting fabrics. Items need to be fairly dry, not too thick, and that you don't mind getting covered in ink. It is also possible to print onto fabric, such as calico, so you are welcome to bring some material along. It should be slightly larger than A5 and ironed flat.

Aprons can be provided but feel free to bring your own or wear old clothes. We will be using waterbased inks, but it will get messy (you may like to bring some gloves)! Please bring a pair of scissors.

• This workshop is for adults. All abilities are welcome and it's suitable for beginners
• Please bring an apron or wear old clothes. You may also like to bring some gloves to wear
• A pair of scissors, sketch pad and pencil would also be useful
