Monoprint workshop for kids aged 8 - 14
Participants will be monoprinting objects from everyday life to experiment with what can be shown through materials. Objects will be layered and printed using gelliplates and attendees will be able to take their artworks home on the day. We encourage participants to bring something meaningful from home to either print with or draw from and there will be plenty of items to use at the workshop.
