You will be exploring intaglio and relief techniques on this course, using texture and tone to make prints that are both painterly and graphic. You’ll learn to use monoprint, collagraph and drypoint plates in a low-toxic environment to develop a direct and immediate style of printmaking. This course is ideal for students who wish to bring their drawing, texture and colour skills to the print studio, to complete a series of multi-plate colour prints in a unique self-led project.

New processes will be demonstrated during the first 5 weeks. Your tutor will support you fully throughout the course in both group sessions and one-to-one support, providing regular feedback, critique and constructive advice. Although the course has a general theme and approach there is no fixed or prescriptive methodology and individuals are encouraged to blend their own experience with all aspects of this course.

By the end of the course you will be able to: 

  • Plan and create images using intaglio printmaking techniques
  • Create plates, working with drypoint and carborundum safely
  • Understand and apply the intaglio method of working with colour
  • Develop and apply skills in mixing ink, inking up and printing plates
  • Understand the difference between working with aluminium and card plates, selecting the relevant one for desired aesthetic results.
