From first exposure to confident experimentation, Sally will guide you through an exciting hands-on journey that balances technical understanding with playful exploration. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have created a rich collection of glowing, sun-kissed prints on both paper and fabric, each one uniquely yours. All Levels |

COLLAGRAPH - CONSTRUCTED SURFACES MAKING EXPRESSIVE PRINTS In this workshop, you’ll unravel the magical world of collagraphy, a richly tactile, low-toxicity printmaking process that invites curiosity, courage, and creative play. You’ll build your own textured printing plates using an exciting range of materials, including tape, sandpaper, string, embossed wrapping paper, lace, and thick glue. Drawing, scratching, and incising directly into your boards becomes part of the joy, giving you complete ownership of your marks and surfaces. Guided by a nature-inspired theme, you’ll design and construct plates layered with texture, rhythm, and organic movement. Learning how each material responds to ink and pressure. Collagraphy empowers you to create bold, multi-layered, vibrant prints using water-soluble inks, making it an ideal medium for exploration and discovery. You’ll be encouraged to embrace the beautifully unpredictable nature of the process, trusting your instincts as your work evolves in unexpected and exciting directions. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a deeper confidence in your creative voice and a renewed sense of what’s possible through print. All Levels |
