Printmaking without a Press class at the Art Room 

10th August 2014

The first in my series of Illustration classes Printmaking without a Press will introduce students to a variety of non-toxic printmaking techniques that don’t require a printing press. Students will be able to continue using these techniques at home or in their studios to incorporate into their illustration work.

Techniques we will cover are stamp making and relief printing, stencils and mono printing. Students will begin the day by drawing a collection of things from nature in preparation for creating prints, so please bring your sketchbooks and favourite drawing tools.

What an amazing workshop we had up in Barham on the weekend! Such a lovely group of students who were really engrossed in their work. The day began with collage paper making and nature drawing before we made some stamps and finally created collaged bouquets. Here are some photos of the things we got up to in Wendy's beautiful studio.
