Monoprinting

Monoprinting is a printmaking process in which a drawing or painting, executed on a flat, unworked printing plate or other surface, is transferred using pressure to a sheet of paper. A spontaneous and exciting process, the medium is also effective, convenient and does not necessarily require a press. Only one strong impression can be taken, hence the term monoprint. In this book, Jackie Newell and Dee Whittington demonstrate how to push the boundaries of monoprinting with various techniques, showing the unique possibilities available and showcasing work by a variety of printmakers from around the world. Both Jackie Newell and Dee Whittington are practising artists who met whilst studying for a Master's Degree in Printmaking at Camberwell College of Arts, London.
