This 10 week course introduces several types of monoprinting, and then relief and intaglio techniques using simple and recycled materials such as lino, card and plastic. You will work with water based, non toxic inks, various papers and collage techniques. Two types of printing press will be used but most of the techniques need no specialist equipment so you can continue working with them outside the course.
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 independently or try more advanced techniques with guidance and advice from the tutor as needed.
Most materials are provided, but you may want to purchase some extra paper. Students are invited to bring images and ideas but the tutor will also provide objects and images to inspire you.
Please wear old clothes as printing can be messy.
Work pictured is by a former student on this course.
