Handmade prints using found, recycled and simple materials

During the workshop you will have a go at a range of different printing techniques that can be duplicated at home, as well as learning about different inks and papers to use.

We will make our own relief printing blocks, as well as having a go at a range of monoprint techniques including traditional drawn and painted monoprints, rubbings and using found materials and textures.

Please bring an A4 folder to take your prints home.

Printmaking can get messy, please wear old clothes or bring an apron.
