Mono screen printing

Tutor: Rachel Moore, print artist

Print artist Rachel joins us again for another wonderful print session. Rachel shows how to create mono screen prints which lend themselves incredibly well to abstract art.

This type of printing creates colour merges and effects that painting alone can’t achieve. It’s quick to do and you’ll create abstract landscapes worthy of a place on your wall.

Preparation

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