Join in on this Monoprint workshop creating disability activism prints, using recycled & found materials, led by printmaker Fae Kilburn
Monoprinting is a fun, spontaneous, painterly and unpredictable process. Create one-off prints in the comfort of your own home, using what you have to hand! Give your work a truly unique and personal touch.
This workshop will last two hours; you can take breaks as and when you need to. Fae’s workshops are relaxed, informative and offer participants the opportunity to ask questions, share ideas and lived experience. Exploring printmaking and creating art at a pace that suits them.
We encourage participants to bring personal or collected DIY items. Each participant will also receive an art pack delivered via post.
