Monotype Printmaking

All registrants are required to follow the COVID safety precautions put in place by Oolite Arts and agree to all the terms in the waiver.

Often called painter prints, Monotype, meaning single print, is a form of printmaking celebrated for its unique painterly aesthetic. This material-based process involves ink applied to or removed from a glass, metal, or plastic sheet. The image is then transferred to paper by rubbing or by a printing press. This workshop explores additive (light-field), reductive (dark-field), and tracing techniques. Upon conclusion of the class, students will have created a series of unique prints.
