Last Saturday I attended a Monoprint wordshop at University Art taught by Tesia Blackburn and it rawked! According to Wikipedia: Monoprints are known as the most painterly method among the printmaking techniques, a monoprint is often regarded as a non-editionable kind of print and is essentially a printed painting.
