Demo for mono print

Preparing a sheet of glass for a black mono print board.

Rather a good amount of a mixture of under glaze black mixed with water and give the sheet of a glass a good enough layer of the mixture with a brush.


Dry it with an industrial dryer. and the pitch black colour turns a dark shade of grey as it dries off..

and there is a grey for you!

The under glaze on the glass sheet has to be bone dry before it can be used for mono printing.

Put some tissue paper on the glass.

secure its position with maskin tape.


You can now draw onto the tissue paper and it'll work as an tracing paper kind of thing because of the black on the glass. I don't have the pictures of the procedure after this for I won't be using mono printing in my project. After you have drawn on anything you want to on the tissue paper, all you have to do is keep the bottom side bottom and lightly smooth it onto a wet bit of clay without trapping any air in between them.
