Step into the world of Collagraph Printmaking with local artist John Dearing and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Spurn NNR.

Looking for an activity to do with friends or want to learn a new skill?

Join local landscape artist and printmaker John Dearing and learn the processes and techniques of Collagraph Printmaking, from designing and cutting your plate, to pulling your plate through a press. Take in the unique and beautiful landscape of Spurn from the comfort of the Spurn Discovery Centre for inspiration and watch the sunset with a hot drink as you work on your design. You will then create your very own unique and personal A5 design to take away with you. You can also bring along your own reference materials (drawings or photographs) to work from.

All materials will be provided.

This workshop is suitable for under 16s due to the tools we will be using.

Please note all 16 - 17 year olds must be accompanied by a paying adult.

Coffee and tea will be provided.

Looking forward to printing with you all.

Embrace your wild side - what to expect:
