London Through The Eye Of A Designer - Mono Print Workshop

This workshop was really fun and easy...really does what it says on the tin: quick efficient way to make a black and white picture/design.

The process is very easy and surprisingly not too messy; bonus: the ink is waterbased...
For the purpose of our books; we worked on A5 portrait size.

First of all, the plate needs to be prepared by taping a frame around so that once you start inking, you are sure to have a "clean" border, although it does not necessary have to be straight.











The ink needs to first be spread in order to get an even coating (or as even as possible).  Too much ink or uneven coating can lead to unforseen outcome...all part of experimenting...
