Summer School Drawing and Printmaking 2012

Snap shot of the Drawing and Printmaking class held last week. In workshop we looked at ways of drawing and mark making that related to the printmaking processes. 

The printmaking was taught from the viewpoint as 'taster' workshop for those who have always wanted to explore the printmaking processes and haven’t gotten around to it! 

 The methods of relief and intaglio will be introduced through the use of lino and dry-point and etching. Ways of printing with and without a press, suitable papers and inks will be discussed and demonstrated.

Eggs in a bucket

The 'girls' are performing. Such beautiful brown eggs. They even laid a special edition for Christmas with little gold stars on them!
