In this workshop, participants will experiment with using paint & stencils to monoprint on gel printmaking plates. Make one of a kind prints and papers that can be used to make collages, small books, cards - the possibilities are endless! Veronica will show you step by step how to use the simple tools to create stunning results with paper, paint and other art materials you may not have thought of before. So be ready to open your creative art window to this adventure making beautiful monoprints. These prints are made using a soft printing plate, paper, acrylic paint, simple tools and can be used in collages, book pages, prints and many other projects. No art experience is needed except imagination.
