Monotype

Monotype printmaking is a distinctive and versatile technique that allows you to create original artwork by transferring images from surfaces like glass, metal, or plexiglass directly onto paper. This process gives you the flexibility to create prints that are either highly precise and similar, or spontaneous with subtle variations. While it’s possible to carefully replicate a print for a more consistent result, each monotype typically carries its own unique atmosphere, with slight differences that make every print special. This combination of control and freedom makes monotype printmaking an exciting technique for artists of all skill levels.

In this course, you will learn the essential techniques of monotype printmaking, including how to experiment with different materials and surfaces to produce stunning, one-of-a-kind prints. You’ll also explore how to manipulate ink and other mediums to add depth, texture, and contrast to your artwork. Whether you are just beginning or looking to refine your printmaking skills, this course offers the tools and guidance to help you create prints that reflect your individual artistic vision.

Throughout the hands-on sessions at Alma Matter, you will gain a deeper understanding of how to prepare your printing surfaces, transfer your designs, and explore the balance between precision and creative freedom.
