Event Description
Stencil-making for Print (4th July)
We will explore printmaking using a stencil, which can be used on fabric or paper to create a design of your choice. As we are using found materials in the home, the emphasis is on experimentation and technique, rather than the result. You will be given the tools to create a stencil, which you can continue to play with in your own time following the workshop.
Materials you will need: Supply List
Monoprint mark-making and chine colle (11th July)
We will explore several printmaking techniques, focussing on drawing into the ink to create texture and form. By the end of the workshop, you should have new skills to continue to explore these options and skills at home, using as many readily available materials in new ways to facilitate learning and creative exploration
Materials you will need: Supply List
Stamp-making with blu tack and erasers (18th July)
This is a fun workshop where we will be using readily available materials from around the home to create quick images. We will use blutack to create a reverse print: this is a printing technique where ink is applied to the area surrounding the images, rather than the image itself.
We will then carve into an eraser to create our own, DIY stamps.
Materials you will need: Supply List
