So yesterday was spent in our excellently equipped workshop in the red shed. And it was to dive back into the good old technique that is mono printing... I have forgotten to actually take picture of the techniques but I will when I am back in the studio.. tomorrow. But I do have some pictures of us all hard at work.
We learnt 3 different ways of printing... first was the way we were taught at college ( putting the paper onto the ink and drawing to create an image. Next was by getting a slate covering it with ink again drawing an image onto the paper and removing it to reveal a negative image then putting that through the press. And finally again getting a inked slate but draw an image on with some orangey oily stuff to remove the ink and then being able to add in a different coloured ink to get a more water coloured effect.
All in all I think we had a pretty successful day. We all got 9 or more fairly decent prints + a few rubbish ones...
Mine and Ellie's initial images that we wanted to play with... they soon turned into something else. But anyway I shall put some picture up of the outcomes soon.
