‘Your Perfect Hill’
Alongside the Exhibition ‘In search of the Perfect Hill’ at The Art Shop (4 April – 16 May) you can explore your perfect hill in this Monoprinting session with Printmaker Adrienne. She will share her love of Monoprinting using clear acrylic sheet which is inked up with rollers or by painting the ink directly onto the plate. You can experiment with mixing and layering luscious colours and the plates will be printed onto paper through the Chapel’s vintage etching press.
Adrienne Says – ‘ I find monoprinting a seductive process, that captures the energy of brushstrokes and mark making. It enables you to make ‘paintings’ reasonably swiftly, and mixing the coloured viscose inks on the plate is a satisfyingly child like indulgence. Who hasn’t taken pleasure in applying paint to a surface – as we did as school children when we folded paper in half and made ‘symmetrical’ butterfly images – to see what image will appear.’
