Printing Without a Press: Trace Monotype

This workshop covers the basic steps of the trace monotype process.  This simple printing technique is called “trace monotype” because you trace the desired image on the back of the paper.  The act of tracing the image transfers the ink to the paper, creating a one-of-a-kind print. The workshop will also cover how to apply color to the trace monotypes. We will be using non-toxic, water-soluble printing inks. Prints will be hand-pulled without a press. No previous printing experience is needed.
