Several years ago, as an invited Master Printer at Woodstock School of Art’s annual Monothon printmaking fundraiser, I noticed that a very tall woman was seated at a table brushing ink on to a monotype plate. The seat was too high for the table, and she looked very uncomfortable. In her own studio this artist painted standing up at an easel. It was then that I suggested affixing her monotype plate to a wall, and since then, this is her preferred approach to monotype printmaking.

This method has many advantages. While holding a brush not only can the artist work with the wrist but also can move the brush around from the shoulder. The ability to step back from the work at a distance is an added benefit especially if you turn your back to the plate and view your composition in a handheld mirror. This of course is how the plate will print.

In this workshop the walls will be protected with butcher paper and the plates attached to the walls at a comfortable height for each artist whether they prefer to work standing or seated. A 12 x 12 ins Plexiglas mirror will be available for each artist.
