Printmaking for Beginners - adult education class

Course overview

Printmaking is one of the most instantly rewarding forms of image-making, with a history that goes back over a thousand years, and still going strong today.

We will introduce you to various printmaking techniques, through which you will have the opportunity to create interesting and effective images in a relatively short period of time. This craft also offers you the opportunity to develop techniques and skills further, giving you a lifetime of creative interest.

The programme will be tailored to each group, with projects developed by the tutor to support individual progress and creative exploration in a variety of printmaking methods.

No previous experience is necessary. All welcome.

All materials and equipment will be provided, although we advise you to wear old clothes and/or a full apron as you will be using printing inks.
