About the class

Local artist, Louise Worthy, will teach you how to create an original swallow monoprint using the stencil provided. What is monoprint? A monoprint is a one-off impression made by applying printing ink to a flat surface and transferring it to paper.

Before the session we encourage you to go out into the garden or for a walk to find inspiration for different silhouette shapes which you can then create yourself, think about wildlife, plants & trees.
