About this Event
This five-week course introduces three types of monoprinting (direct, subtraction, and object methods) and relief printing (linocutting).
The tutor will introduce new techniques in each session and students will create a wide variety of prints throughout the course. The techniques need no specialist equipment, so students can continue working with them at home. We print on a range of papers, use collage and coloured printing inks.
Suitable for all levels including beginners, no experience or art training is needed.
Returning students or others familiar with the techniques are welcome, and may work on their own projects or try more advanced techniques with guidance and advice from the tutor as needed.
All materials are provided. Students are invited to bring their own images and ideas but the tutor will also provide objects and images for inspiration.
Please wear old clothes as printing can be messy.
Student comment about the course: 'I really enjoyed the variety of printmaking techniques covered in the course, with each lesson offering something new to learn and explore. The classes were a lot of fun and very relaxed as Rachel supported and encouraged us to experiment and be creative with what we learned. She also helped us to evaluate our work and gave suggestions and ideas about how to improve or what we could do differently. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole course and have learned new techniques that I will continue to explore at home. Thank you for an excellent course!'
