Practical Print Autumn Term 2023
8 weeks –  Fridays
22nd Sept – 17th Nov
no session half term
10.00am – 4.00pm
Full day 8 weeks 10.00am – 4.00pm £535

A busy term visiting Further Monotypes, Mountboard Cuts, Relief and Intaglio Photopolymer.

Create  prints from textured surfaces and found objects with Further Monotypes.  Incorporates masking and layering to create unique vibrant, eclectic  images.  Offers the  opportunity to create a black and white transparency that can be used later in the Term with Photopolymer.

Mountboard Cuts is a relief printmaking technique that harnesses the nature of mountboard to produce images with lots of character, atmosphere and sensitivity.  A very different result to working with Lino.  Can be done without a press.

Photopolymer is a UV light sensitive plate that can create both a relief or an intaglio plate and a combination of the two.   Expose the plate to a black and white image – created in the earlier monoprint session.  Gives you the ability to create an edition from a unique monotype print.   Uses no chemicals, developed in water.  Can be exposed in the sun if the weather is good.

An exciting Term with lots to investigate, discover, & develop. Meet like minded artists in friendly studio on edge of Cambridge. Suitable for beginners and those wishing to develop their practice.  Includes all materials. Spend 2 weeks each on technique, and 2 weeks to revisit a technique of your choice to further your own practice with technical support.
Please note this workshop is at Stapleford Granary, Stapleford, Cambridge.
