LIVE: Monoprinting with Naomi Frears | Hospital Rooms Digital Art School with Seasalt Cornwall

In this workshop artist Naomi Frears will show you how to create a monoprint without the use of a printing press. Reusing images from old magazines is perfect for this, but you can also use postcards you might have at home and no longer need.
You will need:
• A4 paper
• A shiny hard surface that can be wiped clean. This could be a piece of perspex,
plastic, old mirror or glass.
• One or two old magazines
• Two or three ink rollers (www.greatart.co.uk/essdee-pro...)
• Water-soluble printing inks in two or three colours: black, white and a colour of your choice (An example can be found here: www.greatart.co.uk/essdee-pre...)
• Scissors (you can also tear paper)
• Rags and soapy water or biodegradable baby wipes
• Biodegradable bamboo cotton buds (optional)
Naomi Frears is a visual artist and filmmaker based in the Porthmeor Studios in St Ives. She works across multiple platforms including painting, printmaking and film and is well known for her enigmatic and subtly haunting paintings. In her monochromatic paintings of figures lost in thought in an internal landscape, the lightness and open-endedness conventionally associated with drawing (as opposed to painting) is evident. Her work has been exhibited widely including at Tate St Ives, Newlyn Gallery and Bold Tendencies in London.

Thanks a lot. This was what i needed today, this afternoon, for the first time did some monoprinting ! I had bought the ink and brayers some weeks ago, but didn´t dare to use it. Thanks to your video, i had the courage. The tip about taking the first layer away was really helpful, since as a beginner you cannot believe how little ink you need. I did four prints with about a teaspoon of ink.

Such a wonderful video! Question: are you concerned about the longevity of the printer paper in regards to being not acid-free, in the context of selling the prints?
