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. 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.

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. 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:EA Festival (Book Launch): Building Britannia by Dr Steven Parissien
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Steven Parissien\, will talk about his new book\, Building Britannia: A History of Britain in Twenty-Five Buildings\, with EA Festival director\, Joanne Ooi. Join us in the Landscape Studio for a wonderful evening of literature\, architecture and British history! \nBuilding Britannia is a chronicle of social\, political and economic change seen through the prism of the country’s built environment\, but also a sequence of closely observed studies of a series of intrinsically remarkable structures: some of them beautiful or otherwise imposing; some of them more coldly functional; all of them with richly fascinating stories to tell. \nDr. Parissien tells both a national story\, tracing how a growing sense of British nationhood was expressed through the country’s architecture\, and also examines how these structures were used by later generations to signpost\, mythologise or remake British history. \n£12 a ticket\nBook your tickets directly with EA Festival here. \nAbout Steven\nDr Steven Parissien is Director of Studies and Departmental Lecturer in Architectural History at the University of Oxford\, Fellow of Kellogg College\, Oxford and Interim Director of Gainsborough’s House. \nBorn in London and raised in Chesham\, Buckinghamshire\, Steven obtained both his undergraduate and doctoral degrees from Oxford.
