Drypoint Printing with Chine Collé

Learn to make a dry point plate using acrylic and metal plates in this one day workshop. Drypoint printing involves scratching designs into a plate to create a print with a unique, textured line. These soft, feathery lines of drypoint lend themselves to playful illustrations or
expressive sketches.

The plate is then carefully inked and printed through a small etching press. You will also learn chine collé which is a collage technique that can be used to introduce areas of colour during the printing process.

Throughout the day you will use your own designs and images to produce a print from acrylic and metal plates and will also learn about inks, materials, equipment and chine collé.

This workshop is suitable for all skill levels, from complete beginners to more experienced printmakers looking to play for the day.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.

Painterly Screenprinting

Free up your painting techniques and discover the exciting immediacy of screen mono-printing. Using water-based pigments, you will brush colours swiftly onto the screen in an explosion of colour and marks.

Areas can be masked with paper cut-outs and ‘sgrafitto’ used for pattern and detail by drawing onto your print with a wooden tool. A variety of brushes will create different textures.

Your prints can be entirely experimental and abstract as you explore this exhilarating way of working, or you might have images you wish to use, such as figures, landscapes, seas or skies.

This course is for both beginners and more practised artists, as the tutor will take you through the processes of mixing inks, using a squeegee and utilising your ideas.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.

Etching

Etching is a process which involves printing from a metal plate that has been ‘bitten’ by a caustic liquid. Once etched, a plate may be used many times to produce a series of prints.

Etching used to be achieved with substances quite toxic to the environment. This workshop will use a safe etchant that can easily be neutralised and soluble, water-based inks - both can be disposed of simply and safely.

Come and learn about the intaglio printing process and make your own unique etchings (10x15cm on 14x19cm paper) for framing, or for making into greetings cards or albums. We will produce as many plates/prints as time allows.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those looking to build on their printmaking skills.

A light lunch, refreshments and all materials are included in the workshop fee.
