Induction to Monotype with Sally Weatherill

Join us for a relaxed, hands-on one day workshop that’s perfect for beginners and anyone eager to explore a freer, more spontaneous way of making art.

Monotype is an immediate and intuitive printmaking technique where no two prints are alike, and every mark you make brings surprising results.

During this inspiring session you will:

• Experiment with textured papers and stencils to create beautifully layered prints.
• Explore the subtractive method – where an image is formed by removing ink from the plate.
• Print your work using a relief press for professional results.

Whether you are drawn to bold, graphic shapes or soft, painterly textures, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to play, combine techniques, and discover endless creative possibilities. We will also look at examples of traditional and contemporary monotypes to spark your imagination.

At the end of the day, you will take home a series of unique prints and the skills and confidence to continue experimenting on your own. This is a perfect session for beginners or anyone looking to loosen up and enjoy a more spontaneous approach to making art.

We will be working on plates that are 15 x 15cm so feel free to prepare stencils (photocopy paper works best). All materials are provided, just bring yourself and maybe your sketchbook and textured papers, feathers, or netting to try out.

Spaces are limited – book now and unleash your creativity.

About Sally

Sally Weatherill is an abstract artist whose work in paint and print invites viewers to reflect on themes of transience, memory, and the layered traces of time. Her pieces often explore the idea of the palimpsest — where marks, textures, and images build up, fade, and re-emerge, creating rich, complex surfaces that hint at what lies beneath.

Originally from the US, Sally studied art history and textile design before moving to the UK, where she established her studio on the Essex/Suffolk border. For over two decades, she enjoyed a successful career as a textile designer and weaver before returning to fine art to complete an MA at the City & Guilds of London Art School.

Sally now shares her passion for printmaking as a Print Fellow at City & Guilds and as a print technician at Gainsborough’s House. Her work reflects a deep love of process, material, and the quiet power of layered imagery.
