Please click on the images below in the gallery to view the full photo
Monday 15 – Friday 19 January 2024 – SOLD OUT please click the email link below if you would like to go on the waiting list
This workshop will be suitable for those who haven’t made collagraphs before, but for those who have attended previous Grampians weeks with Basil, we will also look at new ways plates can be built up, painted or incised to create the lines, tones and textures you want in your finished print. Encaustic surfaces will be created and carved and we will have larger rollers for viscosity and multi-plate colour printing. Time will be spent demonstrating different intaglio and relief printing techniques and participants will be able to proof and print their images in full colour using chine collé pigment techniques and à la poupée inking. Bring your imagination and a sense of adventure. Five fun days of painting, cutting, gouging, peeling, varnishing, sanding, collaging, inking and rolling up await you... and a surprise ending! *INTERMEDIATE
*INTERMEDIATE – this course assumes you have some experience in drawing, painting or printmaking.
The tutor won’t have time to focus on teaching basic skills as this course is designed to build on prior knowledge.
