Some of these monoprinted fabrics have reappeared over the years, and others are still lurking, waiting to be rediscovered.
Monoprinting
City Lit had a two-Sunday workshop on monoprinting, led by Sharon Finmark. What fun to be in the print room with the presses and drying racks:
Working away with our palettes and plates and brayers:
On the second day, most people were using colour:
Tony used leaves picked up in the street as a resist:
The brayer leaves marks of varying weight:
I used black ink both days - and came up with a lot of "rain" prints, on paper:
and on fabric:
In the week between sessions, I stitched a little piece to be used for printing, first with ordinary thread and then with thread almost too thick to fit through the needle
and found the back went all loopy
Both sides were useful for printing - especially on tissue paper.
The oil in the ink will eventually rot fabric, but I printed some fabric anyway -
Overall, these are my favourites -
