What will be covered in the class?
Join artist tutor Alondene Phillips for this 7 week course of experimental printmaking using nature, found objects and a range of printmaking techniques. 

On the course there will be flexibility to work on your own projects, learn new techniques and develop your ideas with support and guidance from the tutor.  These workshops will offer opportunities for students to work with a mini press and also learn how to create prints without a press. 

Across the seven weeks there will be opportunities to try a range of relief printing techniques such as intaglio, gelli plate printing, block printing, alongside resist techniques, discharge printing, chine chine-colle, collagraph and silk screen printing.

Students will experiment and explore how some of these different techniques can be combined, manipulated and overlaid to build interesting and imaginative prints.

The course will cater for those wishing to print on fabric or paper mediums.
