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.​ Guided by one to one tutoring from Katherine Jones, a British printmaker with extensive professional printmaking experience, you will expand your knowledge and develop a unique self-led project.
