Monotype Relief Printing with Lizzie Horne
Having just finished her solo show ‘uncivilized garden’ at NERAM, local artist Lizzie Horne takes us through a simple printmaking process suitable for children which you can do from your own home.
Watch the video below and try it at home, share your creations #neramcreativelearning + @neramuseum
You will need:
- a perfectly flat glass panel/perspex panel
- roller
- water based ink
- tracing/baking paper
- a photocopy of an image
- paper
- pencils
- masking tape
Instructions
- find or draw the image you wish to use for the print
- draw this onto tracing paper/baking paper
- setup your glass/perspex panel evenly on your table/bench, place masking tape down as a frame for your print
- using a roller, smooth out your water-based ink removing any excess ink/clumps
- place blank sheet of paper directly onto ink and another strip of masking tape underneath
- place drawing on top of the paper
- start tracing your drawing with a pencil, keep your fingers away from the paper + tracing paper
- once complete, unveil your creation!
