Aquatint Etching

Work directly onto your plates using aquatint, developing images through various hand applied techniques and expressionate movements. Build up your pint using aquatint with using stop out and timings to create unique tonal layers and range across your image.

Text and Print

This course will explore the combination of text and image within Print processes. We will explore the sequential rhythms of the way we look, the conceptual leaps we make between words and image, and the use of juxtaposition to construct and reconfigure meaning.

With this process we treat our printing paper with a photographic emulsion and use UV light to expose our images onto the paper itself before developing the beautiful deep blue prints.

Collagraph & Carborundum Workshop

Collagraph is a method of printmaking that uses texture to create a wide variety of tone and line on a plate. The process begins by making a textured plate from a thin mount board base where a variety of materials are applied to create an intricately textured printing plate. The plate is printed using an etching press and can be printed intaglio, relief or both.
