HAND-PRINTING: CREATING YOUR PERSONAL
PRINTS AND STAMPS
Join the artist, publisher, and curator, Anna Dial, for exploring monotype and color printing. You’ll create your own series of prints and design a custom stamp, while learning how handmade printing techniques are used in contemporary art and publishing.
Monotype is a printmaking technique where an image is created on a smooth surface and transferred onto paper only once, making each print unique.
Color printing is a technique in which an image is formed using natural plant-based materials.

On this workshop you will:
- Try monotype and color printing techniques by yourself

- Listen to a lecture on the traditions of handmade printing, reproduction methods, and how these practices are used in contemporary art and publishing
The workshop will be relevant for:
- Artists, designers, illustrators, and those who love to create as a hobby
- Beginners with no prior experience (drawing skills are not required)
- Those who already have a creative project and want to transform it into a new medium
- Writers who want to create illustrations for their texts
