The Complete Printmaker (10 evenings)
Tutor Martin Kochany
Tues 3rd Aug – 12th Oct 6.30pm – 9.00pm
A comprehensive evening course in printmaking taking you on a journey in monoprinting, drypoint, collagraphs, relief printing and etching. This is the perfect evening course for those new to printmaking wanting to develop their work and discover the joys of print.

End Papers (4 evenings)
Tutors Sue Shaw & Gemma Lacey
Mondays 11th Aug – 1st Sept 6.30pm – 9.00pm
Be dazzled by the potential of pattern. Combine various printmaking techniques to explore surface pattern. The finished design will be used as endpapers, [the decorative pages at the beginning and end of the book.], for an A5 journal which you will also cover. The surface pattern skills are used for end papers in this course but would be completely transferable to textile/ design applications.
Cost £115 (£105*)
Hydro-plate Etching (weekend MASTER CLASS)
Guest tutor Nick Mobbs
Sat 21st & Sun 22nd August 11.00am – 5.00pm
This method of photo-etching uses pre-coated zinc plates and can capture very fine detail, and is essentially more tonal than conventional photo-etching. Over the weekend course you will be shown how to expose and develop the plates, then aquatint and etch them and finally ink up and print your beautiful hydro-plate etchings!
cost £130 (£115*)
