Oct 16 - Relief Monoprinting with Nicholas Rees
This technique involves creating an image on a piece of Plexiglas which is then inked and wiped via a unique process that makes use of flexible blades. This creates an original and often vigorous image that resembles a painting. No previous experience is necessary, although an interest in the technique of printmaking is an asset.
