Printmaking - Screen Monoprinting Plus

Course Number: ARTS0599

Screen monoprinting is an innovative and unique printmaking technique that satisfies both painters and printmakers. Brilliant fabric dye is painted onto a silk screen in a spontaneous and fluid manner. Once dry, a squeegee is used to pull clear medium over the screen. The colours and unique surface textures are spectacular and cannot be achieved through painting directly on paper. This extremely versatile, fun and non-toxic technique forces you to paint in a fresh and free manner. Those who have stayed away from printmaking due to the technical aspect will be amazed at the multi-coloured and painterly prints created with such simplicity. This technique will be a good starting point for those beginning their artistic journey, yet challenging to seasoned artists. Upon mastering the basic techniques you will then be challenged to expand the possibilities by using paper stencils, layering, and combining the monoprints with lino cuts and stamps of your creation. Experimentation is encouraged and you?re welcome to bring fabric or papers to collage, and other mark making mediums to combine with this versatile technique.
