About the event
The monoprint is an artistic technique that produces unique prints. Monoprint helps artists to feel free and not overthink a composition, in fact, the monoprinting process forces artists to "listen" to the art, and use the "mistakes" to create the final compositions. Monoprints start as an abstract art piece that needs to be transformed by the artist by "listening" to the art. Changes need to be added to the composition, using a wide variety of techniques, from traditional to non-traditional materials and techniques.
During this workshop, attendees would be able to learn about the monoprint technique, what it is and how to use it to create art in a simple but powerful way and take it from there, to keep exploring with the media and process to discover new ways of art production.
