Location Leicester Print Workshop
Date & Time Sunday 27th March
10.00am - 2.00pm
Tutor  Kate Da'Casto

A chance to experience the beauty and transience of Monoprint – a single, unrepeatable print that exists nowhere else. This taster session focusses very much on the process and through that, the healing power of being present in the moment.

Through a series of simple exercises, you will be guided through periods of making, thinking and meditating. A time to de-stress, enjoy the simplicity of process and feeling the materials in your hand, you will experience Monoprint in an essential and fundamental form.
