Summer Printmaking Courses

Emphasis is given to stone lithography as a drawing and painting medium, working directly on this wonderful robust drawing surface.

This is the perfect introduction to the medium of etching, focusing on its use as a drawing and painting process.

Join artist and printmaker Gillian Murray to develop your collagraph skills, with plenty of opportunities to explore this technique.

After this course you’ll be very familiar with the screen printing process, and have had time to experiment with different inks, layering, and exposure techniques.

Delve into layering, printing plates and building prints up in colours using lithography. Dive into some colour theory along the way.

Experiment, combine and overlay two processes: Ecoprint and Soft Ground Etching, creating prints directly from the natural colour and shapes of plants.

Hands-on, practical and fun! You will be trying out lino and Japanese ply to cut from and explore the benefits of using different types of paper for printing.

Utilise Toyobo to create both intaglio and relief. You will also have ample time to introuduce other elements to your printed work such as á la poupeé and chine collée.
