Book Description

June 2002
Making Monotypes enables artists at every skill level to master an exciting art technique without the use of a press or other expensive equipment. This book provides easy-to-follow, illustrated instruction for making monoprints and monotypes. Monotypes - one-of-a-kind, printed, hand-made impressions - are created with readily available materials such as unflavoured gelatin, waterbased printing inks and tempera paint. The finished products resemble many of the time proven mechanical printmaking processes such as woodcuts, reduction prints, photograms, collagraphs, serigraphs, lithographs and etchings, but retain their own unique quality. This valuable resource is ideal for both professional and amateur artists who wish to experiment with printmaking, as well as teachers or parents who want to introduce their students or children to the process of printmaking.

5.0 out of 5 stars print easy, March 24, 2010
This review is from: Making Monotypes Using a Gelatin Plate: Printmaking Without a Press (Paperback)
Making Monoprints with gelatin plates is the most versatile and easy way to go. I can print on paper, fabric, whatever and have limitless ways to change the effects desired. I love it and have shared it with many artists in all mediums--paper, acrylics, oils and fabric. A necessary book on my art shelf--

1.0 out of 5 stars Gelatin Plates are awful, October 10, 2008
By 
Jo Tyler (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Monotypes Using a Gelatin Plate: Printmaking Without a Press (Paperback)
Making art on plates formed from the boiled down body parts of slaughtered animals is a gruesome and depressing proposition. Use plexiglas plates, glass, clay or coated paper plates instead. Better karma = better art. :-)
