Monoprinting from Two Life Models

Sunday 7th June 2026

11am - 4pm

Tickets: Standard Tickets £45

Tutor: Lynne Blackburn

Venue: Essex Print Studio

In this workshop you will be painting directly from the life models, using acrylic screenprinting inks, straight onto a silkscreen. You will then print your painting onto paper which produces one, unique, print (hence the name 'mono' printing). Monoprinting is a great way to practice working quickly, and loosening up your drawing and painting skills. It can produce unique and unexpected results and your printed images will range from a bold statement to ghostly impressions. Come and explore the incidental qualities and textural possibilities of printmaking and how they can give your life drawing a new twist.

We will have the wonderful Life Modelling couple Ian & Andrea with us all day so plenty of time to make several screenprinted monoprints to take home. ​During the class our models will take up a series of dynamic poses so you can expect to be prolific monoprinters by the end of the day.

All the materials will be provided for the session so all you need to do is turn up

The ticket price is £45 which covers the models fee plus all printmaking materials for the session.
