SUMMARY:Introduction to Drypoint with Chine-Collé
DESCRIPTION:with Sally Weatherill\nDrypoint is an intaglio printmaking technique\, in which an image is incised into a plate with a hard-pointed needle. Drypoint relies not only on the groove provided by the needle but on the burr that is created when scratching the surface\, giving the line a fluctuating and beautiful velvety character. \nDuring this one-day introductory course\, you will create images on acetate plates with traditional etching needles\, you will also explore the possibilities of creating tones and marks with other materials such as sandpaper\, and tapes and layering the A5 acetate plates to create varied and experimental images. \nYou will learn how to ink your plate and to add colour à la poupée and by the end of the course\, you will have created a variety of unique prints to take home. \nBeginners & refresher course\n£72 per person\nMax. 6 spaces \nBook your space now.\nTickets for all Print Workshop Courses can be cancelled up to one month beforehand. Refunds will be given after this date only if the place is re-sold.  \nCourse structure\n\nExplanation of the technique with examples.\nDemonstration of drypoint tools and techniques.\nCreate an A5 image using acetate using a drypoint needle to incise lines.\nSand\, cut and use rubbings and tapes to add textured marks.\nLayer your acetate to create varied experimental images.\nApplication of ink using scrim and wiping techniques to create tonality.\nPreparation of paper.\nPrinting using the etching presses.\nAdd colour with inking à la poupée.\n\nAbout Sally\nSally Weatherill is an abstract artist working in both paint and print. Her themes include transience and memory often explored through the palimpsest.  \nSally studied art history and textile design in the US before moving to the UK where she set up a studio on the Essex/Suffolk border. She worked as a successful textile designer and weaver for over 20 years before pursuing an MA in Fine Art at the City and Guilds of London Art School. She is currently a Print Fellow at CGLAS.

SUMMARY:Taster Day: Introduction to Cyanotype
DESCRIPTION:This event is now fully booked. \nwith Karina Savage\nCyanotype is one of the earliest photographic processes and was developed by Sir John Herschel in 1841. The process was adopted by engineers and architects as a way of producing copies of drawings – hence the term ‘blueprint’ – but was also used by artists throughout the 19th century and Anna Atkins became the first person to make a photographic book with her cyanotypes of plants and seaweed in 1843. \nDuring this course\, you will explore the possibilities for creating both Cyanotypes from drawn and photographic images and Photograms from found objects. You will use both a UV exposure unit and sunlight (weather permitting). All materials will be provided and you will be sent further information about any image preparation prior to the course date. \nBeginners & refresher course\n£65 per person \nTickets for all Print Workshop Courses can be cancelled up to one month beforehand. Refunds will be given after this date only if the place is re-sold. \nCourse information\n• Explanation of the technique with examples.\n• Coating paper with solution.\n• Creating images using found objects and photographs and drawings on acetate.\n• Exposing with UV exposure unit.\n• Exposing with daylight.\n• Washing out the image. \nAbout Karina\nKarina got her first taste of printing during her art foundation course at Norwich School of Art\, creating large abstract screen prints exploring the potential of overlapping and reconfiguring simple colours and shapes.

SUMMARY:Taster Day: Introduction to Monotype
DESCRIPTION:This event is now fully booked. \nwith Sally Weatherill\nMonotype printmaking is a very immediate and intuitive process in which unique prints are produced by adding and/or subtracting ink from a plate which is then printed onto paper. In this course\, two methods of the flexible and experimental medium of monotype printmaking will be introduced.   \nWe will experiment with textural papers and stencils to create multi-layered prints and will also explore a subtractive method of monotype\, where the image is formed using a variety of marks to remove ink from the plate.  \nGraphic\, textural or painterly results can be achieved\, depending on which monotype technique is used. Techniques can be combined; the possibilities are endless.  \nAll materials will be included\, but please feel free to bring along any interestingly textured papers or netting\, etc to use with the monotypes. \nBeginners course  \nMax. 6 spaces\n£65 per person\nCancellation Policy: Tickets for all Print Workshop Courses can be cancelled up to one month beforehand. Refunds will be given after this date only if the place is re-sold. \nAbout Sally\nSally Weatherill is an abstract artist working in both paint and print.

SUMMARY:Printing with Lino
DESCRIPTION:with Dale Devereux Barker\nThis event is now fully booked. \nStudents will be encouraged to work with lino blocks initially on a small scale to produce exquisite jewel-like works. Students will learn the correct use of ink application\, overlaying extra layers of ink\, how to use cutting tools effectively and safely using presses\, hand-printing and most importantly\, confidence in taking the right creative decisions with their prints. \nThis 3-day course is conducted in a positive and supportive\, jovial environment and Dale is keen to teach you all he has learnt over the past forty years of using this humble material. \nThis course would suit those curious to work with print and lino for the first time through to experienced practitioners who wish to re-invigorate their practice or reinvent themselves. \nBeginners & experienced printmakers course \nNon-members – £318\nMembers – £300 \nAbout Dale\nMy involvement with printmaking began as a twenty-year-old at Art school in Leicester forty years ago. A chance workshop in using lino delivered by an enthusiastic print tutor unleashed a lifetime’s preoccupation with the printed image. I still remember that day every time I visit the print studio and try and relive that moment of excitement – never knowing quite what results would be made from using a humble piece of lino in discussion with ink and paper. \nPrintmaking has sustained me physically and spiritually throughout most of my adult life; making prints is akin to an act of faith and I see no end to my fascination in this activity.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Photo Plate Lithography
DESCRIPTION:with Karina Savage\nThis event is now fully booked. \nAn alternative to stone lithography\, this process enables hand-drawn\, photographic or digital film positives to be transferred onto a light-sensitive aluminium lithographic plate and printed on an etching press. These plates can produce detailed marks such as painterly washes\, linear drawings\, photocopied images\, photographs and text. \nOn this 2-day course\, you will be shown how to prepare imagery\, expose and develop your plate\, and then ink and print. There will be the opportunity to experiment with using chîne collé in your prints enabling you to experiment with different types of imagery and colour. \nBeginners & refresher course \nNon-members – £198\nMembers – £189 \nTo book your space\, please see here. \nAbout Karina\nKarina got her first taste of printing during her art foundation course at Norwich School of Art\, creating large abstract screen prints exploring the potential of overlapping and reconfiguring simple colours and shapes. This exploration continued throughout her degree at Camberwell School of Art where her practice focussed on exploring the relationships and tensions between form\, function and decoration.
