The course will cover a variety of techniques over the sessions, including observational drawing techniques, safe use of tools, mark making, transferring your design and printing techniques. Printing techniques will include monoprinting, lino print, collagraph, drypoint and experimental printing.
There will be opportunity to expand your understanding of printmaking and work on your own projects.

Part of the session may be outdoors, walking in all weather. Please wear suitable footwear and clothing.
