Watercolour monotype is a fluid and immediate printmaking process, producing a single, vivid impression. Watercolour is painted onto a plastic plate and transferred onto damp paper using the pressure of an etching press.

This technique encourages experimentation and beautifully captures each artist’s unique, painterly marks. Over this two-day workshop, Annika will guide participants through preparing and painting the plate, while building confidence in using an etching press to create original prints.

Suitable for all experience levels, this workshop is ideal for those interested in watercolour painting or exploring non-toxic printmaking techniques

** A fridge is available for those who wish to bring their lunch. Coffee and tea will be provided.
