Collagraph Masterclass 2-day Workshop with Katherine Jones RA

Join Katherine Jones RA, our artist-in-residence and acclaimed contemporary British artist celebrated for her unique fusion of painting and traditional printmaking for this two-day workshop.

Katherine’s work explores the tension between safety and vulnerability, using familiar buildings, objects, and spaces as a starting point for layered, thought-provoking imagery.

In this hands-on workshop, Katherine will share the dynamic technique of Collagraph printmaking using fine texture to build a range of line and tone on the surface of the plate. The workshop will give a rare insight into the technique and the unique methods of inking that bring Jones’ powerful editions to life.
