An Early Spring Course of Workshops in Rothesay on the Isle of Bute

Four Friday afternoons to explore your creativity here on The Isle of Bute. Discover the spontaneous and expressive world of monotype printmaking in this immersive series of monotype workshops, held in my lovely garden studio in Rothesay. This unique printing media—often described as "painting with ink"—produces one-of-a-kind prints that combine the directness of painting with the distinctive qualities of printmaking.

  • Over the course of four Fridays, you'll learn various monotype approaches using just three colours:

    • Day 1 - Reductive (removing ink from the plate) and additive techniques (ways of adding ink to the plate)

    • Day 2 - Printing in layers of ink

    • Day 3 - Using paper and found materials as masks

    • Day 4 - Creative Experimentation: Explore the previous weeks techniques in greater depth

  • Spaces are limited to a maximum of 3-4 participants

    You can expect to receive individual guidance and tailored instruction to suit your skill level and creative goals.

    • Fresh Perspective: Experienced printmakers will find new ways to approach monotype, expanding their artistic repertoire.

    • Small Group Setting: Enjoy personalised attention and a supportive learning environment.

    • Experiment freely with accessible, everyday materials

    • Discover unexpected textures and patterns as I shar e with you various ways of inking up a plate

    • Develop intuitive responses to materials and processes

    • Build technical confidence through playful exploration

    • Release expectations and embrace happy accidents
