Printmaking Techniques: Monoprint
Thursdays, 12:15pm - 2:15pm 2 Classes, October 1st & 8th (2026)
Taught by Rena Karanouh
This introductory studio course explores a distinct printmaking technique: Monoprint!
Students will develop aesthetic awareness, craftsmanship, and technical skill while experimenting with colour, texture, collage, stencils, and found materials.
Through guided projects, participants will explore multi-colored and hand-coloured methods, and complete an edition of prints. The course introduces the spontaneity of monoprinting, using coloured inks on plexiglass plates to create unique, one-of-a-kind images and ghost prints.
Students will get to make use of our Printmaking studio's large scale presses for this course!

In this approach, you create a unique print each time - your work will be one of a kind and not repeatable. There is no carving or 'scratching' into a surface. Instead, the artist covers a smooth surface with inks and creates a design by layering colours, wiping or 'drawing' in lines, and applies it once to a transfer paper for a finished result.

- 1 Sheet of Clear Plexiglass 3mm - 8" x 10" Size
