About the course

Develop your printmaking practice in a supportive and inspiring studio environment. At the start of the course, you will discuss your current experience, creative interests, and personal goals with the tutor, helping to shape an individual learning plan tailored to your aspirations. Throughout the course, tutor-led demonstrations will introduce a range of printmaking techniques, including reductive lino printing, alternative monoprint methods, and collography. As the workshop progresses, learning becomes increasingly personalised, allowing you to pursue your own projects and explore additional techniques and processes relevant to your artistic interests. Structured as a printmakers' workshop, the course combines group demonstrations with dedicated one-to-one tutor support, providing the opportunity to refine technical skills, develop creative confidence, and build a distinctive body of work within a collaborative and encouraging studio setting.

Career options

You may wish to attend the next Printmaking Workshop course and continue your development as a printmaker with an individual learning plan agreed with yourself and the tutor.

Course Content - What will I learn?

In these workshops you will learn how to combine printing techniques such as mono printing and lino to produce more complex compositions exploring colour, shape, texture and pattern. Sessions will introduce you to a range of contemporary print work. This research will inspire and inform the work produced and improve your own development and final outcomes. Whilst printmaking techniques will be demonstrated on a weekly basis, there will be a greater emphasis on self-directed study in the studio and focused 1:1 tuition, this will enable you to create individually led artwork. Regular group and 1:1 critiques will help you review and plan your work. You will finish by being shown how to present your work professionally through mounting and will leave with a portfolio of prints.
Materials and equipment to be provided by the learners: Pencils, glue stick, ruler, scissors and optional sketchbook with drawings and ideas.
