Join printmaker Cecilia Jacobs in this special 'Introduction to Monotype Printing' where you will learn the fundamental skills needed to create a monotype print and explore positive and negative space. Learn how to use both additive (applying ink) and subtractive (removing ink) methods. You will also learn how to use a printing press and the type of tools and papers used for printmaking. Whether you are a beginner or looking to brush up on your printmaking skills, this class offers one-to-one tuition in a small group setting.

You can join Cecilia once a month at our ‘Saturday social print club’ so you can continue to practice your skills and use our printing press with fellow printmakers.

ABOUT CECILIA JACOBS

Cecilia Jacobs is an Australian artist based in Melbourne (Naarm). Her practice navigates a space between the natural and industrial world in which light, texture and colour are drawn from direct surroundings. Combining traditional printmaking with her interest in metalwork and sculpture, Cecilia creates artworks which reconcile her place within the world and our impact on it.
