Outreach at Eardisley Village Hall
Intaglio Printmaking / Intaglio Colour Inking / Collagraph Printmaking / Embossed Prints
Sat 10th April / Sat 17th. April / Sat 24th. April / Sun 25th. April
10.00 am - 4.00 pm
Participants get to grips with traditional and contemporary methods of making fine art prints, using a modern portable etching press that is virtually identical to those in use for many centuries. These are opportunities to try printmaking at affordable cost.
Intaglio Colour Inking is a follow-on session to find out how to make intaglio prints in colour, using techniques with wonderful names, "a la poupee", "chine colle", "jigsaw" and "multi-plate".
Collagraph is a modern printmaking technique that is wonderfully flexible and almost infinitely expressive. Those with little or no printmaking training can create, in a few hours, effects similar to those which printmakers traditionally slaved for weeks or months to achieve. Many of today's top printmakers use collagraph extensively in their work.
During the Embossed Print day, Printmaking tutor Mike Clements will show participants how to make stunning three-dimensional prints using little or no ink. Mike has spent fifteen years perfecting techniques, some of which are his own invention. Embossing can be used to make stunning prints and is also well suited for making fabulous greetings cards and artist's books. Mike will bring examples of all these.
These workshops are aimed at adults and are suitable for artists and non-artists alike. You do not need previous printmaking experience. The workshops will also appeal to people who want to refresh a rusty knowledge of intaglio printmaking or simply develop existing skills. By the end of each workshop participants will have had hands-on experience of using an etching press safely and will have made and printed their own prints.
Participants will get most benefit by attending all four sessions. This is strongly recommended for anyone who hopes eventually to become a regular user of the Sidney Nolan Trust's print studio. But newcomers who simply want to have a go at printmaking are welcome at any of these workshops.
All these workshops will be at Earlisley (in the centre of the village almost opposite the shop - park on the street, then look for the arch and walk through it). Workshops start at 10.00 am and finish at 4.00 pm. Bring a sandwich lunch or pop out to Gilly's cafe or one of the two nearby pubs.
Course fees:
£120.00 for all four days, or
£35.00 for one day
£65.00 for two days
£95.00 for three days
