Creating Botanical Monoprints

About this event

@ Interested in exploring the process (and happy accidents!) of botanical monoprints? Join this workshop in the Discovery Center classroom to experiment with the medium. There will be a variety of pre-colored and patterned papers and quick pressed herbs, leaves and flowers to create unique prints of those botanical silhouettes. Materials will be supplied by Hobcaw, but bring any interesting botanical material to work with also. Harvest it and press it the night before the workshop. Sandwich those fresh leaves/flowers between two sheets of paper and place a heavy book or weight on that assemblage. Bring the “sandwich” to the workshop for additional interest. Ditto on the paper used to print the inked images. Pre-color or paint some paper, or bring some special patterned paper to experiment with. Heavier stock like watercolor paper works best as print stock. Wear old clothes or bring an old shirt or cover up to don. (Exertion level: Low impact – crafting). Reservations required.
