Giving printmaking a twist in this fun and experimental workshop, we'll be learning how to create monoprints (one-of-a-kind prints).
The session will be split into two parts:
First, we'll practise with gel plates and learn how to make beautiful and unique prints. This is a great technique if you want to practise pattern-making, making papers to use in collages/journals, or if you want to make vibrant pieces using acrylic paint.
Later, we will move on to using printmaking inks spread thinly on a tray, and we'll make monoprints. This type of printing is very close to drawing, and it's very fun to see the different images that come out.
For both techniques, we'll have the chance to practise on loads of different papers and make the most unique colour combinations to best reflect your creativity.
All materials are covered; you only have to come willing to learn new techniques and have fun! Mina, your host, is an artist and printmaker with 10+ years of experience and will guide you throughout the session. The studio is an intimate creative space with only four seats, so conversation flows and you get very personalised guidance.
If you're a beginner, don't overthink it and join us! All classes in the studio are aimed at beginners who want to find their creative path or just learn something new. See you soon!
What you'll get
  • All materials to work with
  • Teas and biscuits throughout the session
  • Professional guidance and teaching without any pressure
  • A handful of prints to take home, ready to display in fun frames or to be used on another project—the sky is the limit!

I'm Mina, and I run Garanto Art Club to guide people like you to (re) connect with their creative side. I genuinely believe that everyone is creative, but more often than not, that muscle doesn't get trained as often or properly, and tends to be completely forgotten. With a wide range of workshops around London, Garanto Art Club aims to build a creative community for people to keep coming back to, where we will explore your unique creative voice and boost your self-esteem.
Mina (AKA Guillermina F) is an abstract artist from Argentina who has lived in London for the last 6 years. Her production is made mainly through experimental printmaking and mixed media.
