Learn how to push the boundaries of monoprinting with a range of techniques explained by two practising artists.

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 show you how to push the boundaries of monoprinting with various techniques and demonstrate some unique possibilities available to you from screenprinting to collage prints. Through colourful illustrations, the authors also showcase work by a variety of printmakers from around the world for inspiration.
