Workshop
The Playful Ways of Printmaking
The workshop uses screen printing to create playful images in printmaking. Monoprint is chosen as a means to alter the public perception that printmaking is only about mass production — actually, it has enabled art to become more affordable and accessible.
The participants can use a medium screen to paint and print their monoprint, exploring the concept of “self-portrait”. What is our inner identity and impression we want to present to society? What makes us unique?
Before the lesson, each participant needs to prepare three keywords for themselves. By teaching them the basics of monoprint, attendees can play with free-flowing brushstrokes, colours, and composition combined with their creativity to enjoy the monoprint process. After printing with the squeegee on their chosen paper, they can bring home a 20 × 23 cm artwork that records their inner thoughts manifested through art.
Everyone should enjoy the playfulness of art printmaking!

Workshop by
Wen Ching Yiu
WEN Ching Yiu, Krystine is a Hong Kong-based visual artist focusing on graphic design, printmaking and illustration. In 2022, she graduated from Hong Kong Baptist University with a BA in Visual Art. She had participated in the Shared Campus programme organised by ZHdK (2021) and UAL (2022) and Print Exchange by Hot Bed Press (2022 & 2023). She is one of the creators and the designer of Tuenmunality, and a member of People of Print.
Krystine uses screen printing and risograph as her primary media in her printmaking work. Memories are her fundamental inspiration. She deforms and reconstructs them into images that remind her of her identity. Inspired by contemporary graphic design and printmaking art, she plays with surreal colour combinations to pioneer her inherent aesthetics. Fusing experimental illustrations and graphics, she conveys perfection within imperfection.
