Monotype & Trace Monotype

Friday 8 September 2023
10am – 5pm

An intensive 6-hour workshop with Alessia De Bortoli

The monotype technique combines the printing process with the spontaneity of painting. It consists in the direct application of ink on matrices which can be of various materials and which must be smooth, not engraved. The rapid and versatile procedure allows you to create a unique print with the use of the chalcographic press.

Trace Monotype is a technique that can be realized without a press. The quality of the line is blurred and the process is gestural and expressive.

More information

During the workshop the instructor will show examples of monotype printing, as well as materials and tools suitable for the technique and its expressive possibilitie. Students will be guided in the creation of their own matrices and will make unique and unrepeatable prints.

We will also introduce Trace Monotype, a technique that can be realized without a press. The quality of the line is blurred and the process is gestural and expressive.
The inks used for the workshop are sustainable and do not require the use of solvents, allowing you to work with a wide choice of bright colours. The prints will be made on Fabriano printing paper.
