Printmaking
Course introduction
This is an opportunity to develop your art practice in innovative and satisfying ways. Subjects may include nature (such as birds and landscape), built environment (buildings and architecture), abstract images, and human form. You will explore the art of print making using both experimental and traditional methods. The course will include mono printing (unique one-off experimental images); collagraphs (prints made using collaged textures); lino cutting (one colour); and reduction lino prints (using more than one colour).
Course information
You will need to bring a pencil. Coloured pencils and pens can be useful for planning. Tracing paper and some plain white paper will be necessary for designing. You can bring along coloured background papers to test your printing. If you have a black permanent marker, please bring that too. Alternatively, you can borrow one. Your Tutor can supply lino at cost price of around £3.00 a sheet, payable to your tutor. Water based black and coloured printing ink will also be required. Your Tutor will advise you on this during your first lesson.
