- A tour around my studio - a sneak preview of this weekend's Spring Fling open studio event. We hope you come along in person too if you can! Then a monoprint demo where I'll be sharing some of my ideas for my latest series of mixed media works.

Just watched this entire video and found it really fun. Definitely got me interested in this sort of technique. Thank you so much for sharing your process and craft!
What an amazing insight how you make your monoprints. Thank you so much for sharing, Laura. Your studio is incredible, so much space. Thank you also to Mr B, the 'lights, camera, action man' !
This is an amazing process! I just love what you did layering printing, ‘pencil’ and ‘crayon’! Please consider offering an online class. I will be in the UK next month into July but will not be only as north as Wiltshire. I imagine your classes book up quickly! Thank you for posting!!
Hi Laura, I monoprint as my main medium. A couple of things that might interest you (who knows!). Re damp paper - I use lightly misted paper with Charbonnel Aqua Wash, which is essentially the same deal as Safe Wash. the result varies hugely with different types of paper, and many types are possible. I sometimes use a press, sometimes a cheap baren (real bamboo sheath but not real handmade cordage inside) and sometimes a Slama ball-bearing hand press, which is a kind of baren on steroids. All the variables influence results, well, variously. My face results are from heavy washi, but ordinary wet-strength cartridge, such as Seawhite, can be wonderfully sensitive to textures and scratched or wiped highlights and marks.
Great advice - thank you that’s so useful!
Thank you Laura- so helpful in demystifying the process. So appreciate your generosity in sharing how you do this.
Wow Laura, thanks once again for your generousity in giving us your time and sharing your process. I hope SpringFling goes amazingly for you (and the parties). I will certainly have a go, likely with charbonnel aqua etching inks which are amazing as they just rinse off under the tap. I have only used them for trace monotype so far.
In the spirit of sharing, one note: You mentioned doing this with water-based inks might also work. I recently tried this (Schmincke aqua lino inks) and it does work, however the ink dries a little too quickly to be able to print reliably. I might try again some time using damp paper. Thanks again!
Me again. Also, PET plastic sheets (art shops in NZ but maybe not UK?) are cheaper than thin acrylic and come in multiple weights - strikes me the lighter ones might suit your approach. Also, you can manipulate Safe Wash or Aquawash with water on the plate - paradoxically it makes the ink seize and then dry quite fast, but within an hour or three you can wake it up and lift it off by printing with damp paper. Various watercolour and “crawling” textures possible. And I prefer Aqua Wash to Safe Wash because it is less inclined to granule in contact with water, and thus even easier to clean up. Loved your demo - and especially your plate/paper setup!
Me too - I was pleasantly shocked to see how much easier the charbonnel inks wash off with water, compared to the safewash which I end up cleaning with odourless spirits anyway as I can never get them off properly ☺️
Thank you!
Thank you for your marvellous and inspirational video!!
Thank you so much. I love the results you get with this technique. I am inspired to have a go.
Inspiring, thanks so much. Lovely to see you still pushing the boundaries. Glad you explained the pencil you were using at the end. That was my one big question.
Muji has tiny cotton buds, I used them in my makeup artistry era and I think you might like them for such cleanups
loving this - it is so nice to see your process - so sorry I couldn't get to watch the live stream.
Brilliant, thank you so much for sharing your technique
that was absolutely inspirational! thank you
I really appreciate your video Laura. I really enjoy doing monoprints. A bit more freeing, as you show when you begin drawing with pasels and pencils. Well done. Do you have plans to add more to this particular print? Thank You for this demo. And a huge Thank you to Ben. Kudos Ben on your beautiful framing work. Looking forward to seing more. Beautiful rocks btw!
Excellent demo, thank you
I recently watched some of your RUclips videos and noticed that you tend to be a bit bossy towards the camera person. It might be better to give them some creative freedom to do their work. I find your content really interesting, but I have a request. Can you please listen and respond to questions without interrupting the person asking the question? The camera person can focus on filming and refrain from verbal interruptions, but it would be nice if they could read out the questions (While you LISTEN)for you.
