About Mono-printing
Mono-printing is a playful and immediate form of printmaking, where each print is a one-off. This workshop encourages experimentation with colour, texture and composition, embracing spontaneity and chance. Through simple processes and repetition, you’ll build up a body of work that is bold, expressive and entirely your own.

About Adam Bridgland
Since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2006, Adam Bridgland has worked across a range of materials and processes to explore distinctly British themes with wit and clarity. His work often reflects on nostalgia and the passing of time, drawing on memories of seaside holidays, backpacking trips and traditional tours.

Alongside this runs a playful visual language inspired by children’s colouring books, paint-by-numbers kits, transport posters and kitsch postcards. Using richly applied primary colours, Adam elevates these everyday references into carefully composed, emblematic works.
