  Come experiment with monotype! Combining painting and transfer techniques, the process of monotype creates a unique, one-of-a-kind print. Different from making editions of identical prints, monotype is the most painterly and freeing among printmaking approaches, creating exactly one single print with each plate. Explore texture, color and design variations easily and quickly. All materials included.
