Making Big Monotypes with Sheila Ceccarelli
Artist, educator and co-founder of AccessArt, Sheila Ceccarelli shares how she gave teenagers the opportunity to explore expressive mark making and monoprinting on a large scale.
This project was shared with AccessArt as part of the 40 Artist Educator Project, funded by Arts Council England, aiming to highlight and celebrate artist-led teaching and facilitation.
Making Big Monotypes by Sheila Ceccarelli
I wanted students to have a chance to explore expressive mark making and monoprinting but not be confined to the A4 acetate which they’d previously used as a ‘plate’; for students to enjoy the freedom of making big monotypes and experimenting with marks, textures, layers and composition.

Wonderful Sheila – so invigorating to see them working on this scale I bet they loved it!

So Inspiring – I can’t wait to try this out. Mono prints are so wonderfully immediate and it’s such a good idea to use the shiny paper for rolling out the ink so that the size of the prints is not limited. I find young people really respond to an increase in scale and this is a great way to scale up in print. Love the ‘zebra’ type stripes!

Great to hear from you Jo! Really was a brilliant session – Worked well working on thin news-print to pick up the detail. Saw a brilliant YouTube clip recently where they totally uped the scale – I’m tempted to give it a go! Maybe in the summer when we can work outside! If you like the Zebra have a look at this one /painting-savannah-chloe-williams/ – also working large with printmaking – Chloe Williams.
