Learn how to grind, sieve and muller raw ochre pigment to make watercolour paints and etching inks for printmaking in this one-day workshop.

Ochre is a naturally occurring pigment found in earth rich in ferric oxide. The Forest of Dean is one of these places and artist / printmaker Nichola Goff has been collecting and using these pigments in her work.

Earth pigments produce beautifully rich tones ranging through yellow, orange, red, purple and umber, they are relatively simple to process and often used for paints and dyes.

In this workshop you will learn about processing earth pigments from a raw material into a fine powdered pigment that can then be used for inks and paints. Participants will learn the techniques and recipes to produce water colour paints and etching ink, and learn monoprint techniques to experiment with the earth pigments as printing inks.

Participants will take home a small set of earth colour watercolour paints, a tube of unique earth pigment etching ink made on the day and a set of hand-made monoprints.

Suitable for all skill levels from beginners to experience printmakers.

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

Roll up and discover the exciting possibilities of this versatile print medium. The coated drypoint card can be incised, cut, torn, crumpled and punched with tools to make an extensive variety of marks. Unlike lino, it can easily be cut into a variety of shapes and works equally well with intaglio printing (the ink sits in your incised marks) as relief printing (the ink sits on the surface leaving your marks white).

Working in monochrome you can build an image with background, scattered shapes or atmospheric plate-tone (ink on the surface can be left in areas or smudged away).

A workshop for both beginners and experienced artists, the tutor will encourage individual projects; you might experiment with diverse techniques or work on illustrative, decorative or abstract imagery to create unique prints. There will be lots of visual inspiration to help your creativity flow.

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

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.

Collagraph loosely means a print made from a collage. Experiment with a variety of materials to glue onto a printing plate, usually a piece of card or board which you seal before using it to print. Different materials can be used including paper, paper tape, wood, plastic tape and fabric. Layers of adhesives can also be used such as PVA glue, varnish, and gesso to create mark making. These collagraph plates are then inked up and printed onto paper using a small etching press.

We will then add colour to our plates and prints using Chine Collé. Chine Collé is a technique whereby we add glue to thin papers such as tissue paper or Japanese paper and this is sandwiched between the printing paper and the printed image. This added layer of colour becomes integral to the print.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who want to improve their skills, or just have a play with printmaking.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee, although please do bring along any materials you would like to collage with.
