Beginners Printmaking

This dynamic printmaking course takes you on a creative journey through a variety of exciting techniques. You'll start by exploring simple yet impactful methods like Foam Stamping, then move on to more complex processes such as Monoprinting and Drypoint, where you'll learn to create intricate designs with rich textures.

As the course progresses, you'll dive into Lino cutting and reduction, mastering the art of layering colors and patterns. There’s also an opportunity to experiment with Rubber Stamping or revisit techniques you’ve enjoyed. You’ll discover the textural possibilities of Collagraph and the eco-friendly approach of Tetra Pak printing.

The course culminates in a mini exhibition, celebrating the unique and diverse prints you've created, offering a fantastic opportunity to showcase your newfound skills and creativity.
