Join local artist Alison Press for an afternoon of color, curiosity, and creative discovery as we step into the fluid world of monoprinting.
This process invites a balance of intention and surprise. Working with acrylic paint on a smooth “plate,” you’ll begin by creating an image—layering color, texture, and gesture—before gently transferring it onto paper through the simple act of touch. In this workshop, we’ll use Yupo paper as our plate, a flexible, almost luminous surface that allows the paint to move in unexpected and beautiful ways.
As your image is pressed onto watercolor paper and other absorbent surfaces, something shifts. Edges soften, textures transform, and a new version of your work emerges—one that could never be exactly repeated. This is the magic of monoprinting: each piece a singular moment, a one-of-a-kind impression.
You may choose to pull multiple prints from a single plate, watching the image evolve with each pass, or return to the surface again and again—reworking, layering, and discovering new possibilities.
Once your prints have taken form, you’re invited to continue the conversation—adding paint, collage, or mixed media, following what wants to unfold. You’re welcome to bring imagery for inspiration, or simply arrive with an openness to explore and see where the process leads.
You’ll leave with a small collection of original works and, perhaps more importantly, a felt sense of this playful, intuitive process—one you can return to again and again.
We can’t wait to create with you. ✨
We can’t wait to welcome you!
