Each abstract artwork turned out so unique, with its own creative flair. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us! We had a blast watching everyone experiment, express themselves, and create so freely!

We are happy to be offering monoprinting this term! 🫟

Led by Amanda Chesney, Creative Monprinting will encourage you to create withindividuality and personal artistic style! In this 6-session class, we will start with the basics of rolling inks, mark-making, printing onto paper and how to print ghost images. Learn to build texture and depth into your image through use of fabrics and textured objects. Build your image repertoire through stencils, masks and colour gradients. Explore the option of incorporating other media such as pastel, watercolour and water-soluble pencils into your monoprints.
