This course focuses on photomechanical techniques in printmaking; combining photosensitive emulsion and plates with intaglio printing. You will learn to expose and develop autographic (drawn and painted) and digitally generated/photographic images with both different types of plates. Guided by one to one tutoring you will expand your knowledge and develop a self-led project.

This course focuses on employing intaglio and relief techniques to print onto, and using textiles. The course combines traditional and contemporary methods of printed textile and the use of repeat pattern as a means of communication and dissemination of ideas. The course will also introduce the use of finer textiles such as silk to rethink and reformulate the traditional two dimensional printed image. Looking at Artists from the Bauhaus such as Anni Albers, we will explore print as a means of creating a ‘total’ artwork. Uncovering the tradition of printing onto textile to create a holistic artwork that aspires to work with Architecture and interrupt the flow of our perception through it.

This course focuses on experimenting with a combination of techniques including simple block-print, etching, collagraph and mono-print to develop a print or series of prints. The course will bring a new perspective to printmaking working in a process-led way to embrace and develop both the intentional and surprise elements of intaglio and relief printmaking. This course is ideal for painting and drawing practitioners who would like to recalibrate their practice, gain a perspective of print techniques and re engage with the drawn mark. Print both compliments and brings perspective to other areas of creative practice and enables one to reconsider and refresh an established routine.
