Monoprinting day with Anita Reynolds

Mono printing with Anita Reynolds 3rd October 2017

Anita started the course with a demonstration of the various techniques - additive, subtractive using a selection of materials - netting, leaves, etc.  The course was attended by ten participants with different backgrounds. All were fully involved and engaged. Anita was extremely encouraging and full of great ideas to help us all to think outside the 'box' and be adventurous.
Without exception, all who attended, really enjoyed the session.  One person expressed her Love of the unpredictability of the work. Another person referred to the free creative flow. Anita provided exciting colours and there was always an eager queue of people waiting to use the press and find out what they had produced with the colours. As the day progressed everyone became more adventurous in their work. Anita's positive affirmation throughout helped to create a friendly informative and supportive ethos.
Anita finished by asking everyone to choose their favourite piece to be photographed.
The woodland centre was an ideal venue- warm, light with a stimulating environment.
Everyone left feeling enthusiastic and inspired.
We are grateful to Granite Elements  and MTMTE for making it possible!
