Monoprinting workshop with printmaker Karen Howse

Join us to experiment with painterly monoprinting to produce one-of-a-kind images. We will explore additive & reductive monoprinting, adding & taking away ink, with masking & trace monotype.

Join artist-wanderer Karen Howse to play with drawing, rollers, inks & the gallery’s new printing press. Monoprinting is immediate, fun & painterly. A chance to learn through making and get inky!

Please note: we recommend that you wear old clothes and bring an apron as it can get messy
