Video: Monoprinting

~ Billy Mann

This is a video overview of the first post-lockdown workshop at the re-opened Barbican Centre on 1 October 2020. The artists featured are from Accumulate, the art school for the homeless. And it was facilitated by the Barbican and Headway East London, a charity supporting people affected by brain injury.

It shows a safe-distance workshop we held using a wax monoprinting method I devised in the Headway East London art studio to make the process easy for everyone and low cost. It features images from the recent Barbican exhibition ‘Masculinities: Liberation Through Photography’. For a more instructional video, go to Cut-Price Portraits With Billy on You Tube and have fun making great pictures.

I'm originally from Liverpool and worked as a national magazine journalist for more than 30 years before suffering a stroke at age 53. I started blogging as part of a neuro-rehabilitation programme and wrote the very first entries with one finger of my disabled left hand. Later, art became another therapy for me at Headway East London's Submit To Love studios. I blog regularly and volunteer as a teaching assistant, coaching schoolchildren in aspects of journalism.
