In this workshop, we will be teaching you the techniques to make your own monoprints, and guiding you the process of making a short, looping animation. Each participant will illustrate a short frame-by-frame animation on paper, which will then be transferred onto the printing surface. Unlike other printmaking techniques where multiple identical impressions can be made, a monoprint will create an 'one-off' print, and can allow you to achieve unique textural effects on your prints.
By the end of the session, you will have produced your own animation, along with a series of hand-made monoprints. The monoprint techniques you will learn here can be easily replicated at home, allowing you to continue to explore these medium in your own time. We will be providing all the supplies needed for the workshop, but please dress prepared to get a little messy!
No prior experience in either printmaking and animation is needed!
