Course programme

We will look at artists past and present using subtractive monotype techniques. You will produce work using your own imagery and learn how to manipulate the ink to achieve various tonal effects. We will print using an etching press although we will discuss printing by hand and there will be a short demonstration of how to do this.

You will be taught by demonstration and practical application. Technical information will be supported with handouts and throughout the session you will be guided by your tutor.

Additional information

You may wish to continue expanding your knowledge of monotype techniques in a general print studio course or move towards combining these techniques with etching plates on courses such as VS401 Start etching & VS987 Experimental etching. General information and advice on courses at City Lit is available from the Student Centre and Library on Monday to Friday from 12:00 – 19:00. See the course guide for term dates and further details
