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:James Gillray: Characters in Caricature
DESCRIPTION:James Gillray (1756–1815) was Georgian Britain’s funniest\, most inventive and most celebrated graphic satirist. His work transcends his own time and has continued to influence his successors of the modern age\, from David Low to Martin Rowson. \nTim Clayton\, author of 2022’s definitive biography of James Gillray\, brings the master satirist to life in an astonishing\, colourful and at times salacious exhibition\, James Gillray: Characters in Caricature.\n \nThis lively and daring exhibition examines how Gillray exposed the most notorious scandals of his time by focusing on the artist’s principal characters – household names to which he returned to again and again\, from Emma Hamilton to the Emperor Napoleon.

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.
