Explore using intaglio methods of drypoint printmaking, with collagraph and chine colle.

Intaglio with chine colle can provide stunning, quick way of adding colour and texture to your art work.

During this workshop, you will experiment with mark making using intaglio tools to create designs on card plates, and incorporate elements of collagraph to add texture and depth. You will learn how to print your plate using chine colle - a process in which thin coloured paper is sandwiched between an inked up plate and the paper you are printing onto.

Who is the course for? This class is suitable for all abilities, including experienced printmakers looking to expand their skill set, and complete beginners.

What will you make? Participants will create a series of prints on paper using your plate, developed with intglio dypoint, collagraph, and chine colle.

What will I need to bring?

Please wear old clothes as printing can get messy. Aprons will be provided.

You may want to bring a packed lunch and your own water bottle. Teas, coffees and biscuits are provided.
