PRINTMAKING workshops & tuition

As I currently have no studio, I only run occasional printmaking workshops at Birkhill House.

ADULTS WORKSHOPS

I meet so many people who would ‘love to give printing a go’ or who have had a linocut tool buried in a drawer somewhere for years and need some motivation to get started. A workshop is a great introduction to printmaking and some of the concepts you need to get your head around. I believe learning should be fun and make sure the classes are relaxed and informal, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and chat.

Kids Workshops

Printmaking can be a very ‘free-ing’ form of art for kids. I often here ‘I can’t draw’ or ‘I’m rubbish at art’ before a workshop. None of this matters with printing. Children are encouraged to use pre-carved stamps, founds objects, hands or whatever else they can think of to make beautful crads, posters or books. It’s a great way to let children express themselves without having to do anything in particular.

I announce regular workshops here and you can join my mailing list to be notified about my plans.
