How to Elevate Your Monoprints

Tutor: Rachel Moore, print artist

Join VVH artist and printmaker, Rachel Moore, as she explores the magic of monoprinting with a simple yet striking light print on dark paper. Then take it to the next level by adding metallic or opaque brights for a dramatic finish.

This session is perfect for experimenting with contrast, texture, and colour to create unique, eye-catching pieces. Your finished prints can then be turned into greeting cards, framed artwork, or used as covers for handmade books.

Please note: overnight drying time is required for this session

Preparation

Prepare your materials and find a sturdy table or floor to work on.
