About this Event
Please note: students don't need to have completed All Levels Printmaking 1 to take part in this course.
This five-week course introduces intaglio printing techniques (drypoint etching and collagraph). Each week, the tutor will guide students through new techniques, allowing them to explore and experiment with different methods to create a diverse range of prints.
Simple and recycled materials, such as card, plastic and textured papers, will be used, alongside specialist papers and inks designed for intaglio printing. Students will have the chance to work with both black and coloured inks, as well as experiment with collage techniques to add depth and texture to their prints. Throughout the course, students will be able to create unique prints and also editions (multiples). Everyone will have the opportunity to work with the studio’s printing press, gaining hands-on experience with this specialist piece of equipment.
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.
