PRINTMAKING
   

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.

Logwood Dyeing

Create wonderful images on paper and fabric using eco-printing techniques combined with logwood natural dye and various foliage. The logwood dye produces a beautiful blue base colour, perfect for creating bold prints.

You will experiment and print onto handmade paper, card tags and also silk and cotton. You will be amazed at the stunning effects that a variety of leaves and seedheads can create on different base materials.

The resulting samples can be used in many creative projects such as art collages and stitch projects.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who already have some dyeing experience.

All materials, lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee, however you are encouraged to bring along any foliage and seedheads that you would like to try to take prints from.

Monoprint and Watercolour

Create vibrant and exciting images based on a still life subject using a combination of monoprinting and watercolour in this one day workshop.

By separating the line (monoprinting) and colour (watercolour) elements of the work, each becomes freer and more lively, often producing unexpectedly satisfying results.

Demonstrations and help from the tutor mean everyone can succeed with this technique, and it can be especially rewarding for beginners, and those who want to try a different approach from conventional painting. No matter what your skill level, you will be delighted by your finished
art works.

Suitable for complete beginners and more experienced artists and printmakers.

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