SUMMARY:Monoprint Day: Texture\, Gesture & Etching Press
DESCRIPTION:Discover the expressive world of monoprinting in this hands-on creative session exploring texture\, movement and abstraction through drawing and printmaking techniques. \nGuided by music-led exercises and intuitive mark-making\, you’ll experiment with textured surfaces\, abstract composition\, and monoprint processes using an etching press before creating a large-scale A2 artwork. \nLeave with expressive prints\, layered artwork\, and new techniques to continue exploring at home. \nSuitable for beginners and creatively curious participants aged 14+. \nFood and drink is also available for purchase throughout the session from our cafes. \nWhat is Monoprinting?  \nMonoprinting is a form of printmaking that produces unique\, one-off prints rather than repeat editions. \nOften combining drawing\, texture and layered ink techniques\, monoprinting is known for its spontaneous and expressive qualities\, making it ideal for abstract and experimental artwork. \nAbout your tutor  \nMel Perkins graduated with a Fine Arts degree from Derby University in 2019. Based in Suffolk as an artist at Old Jet\, Mel is developing her multidisciplinary practice\, focusing mainly on photography\, painting and sculpture.  \nDescribing making art as a ‘bodily and intrinsic process’\, Mel works instinctively. Materiality is as fundamental to her practice as theme and subject matter\, and she explores each in depth.  \nWhen work becomes too ‘ordered’\, she intentionally seeks chaos again. This playful experimental approach runs throughout Mel’s work\, as she combines hard and soft\, and different scales and modes of presentation. \nThere is a questioning of two and three dimensions and the potential between them.  \nSometimes she also adds handwritten notes and musings\, in order to bring an aspect of humanity back into her works.
