Who is the course for?

This workshop is equally suited both for the beginner and the experienced printmaker wanting to explore the process further.

What will I need to bring?

All materials and equipment will be provided. You may like to bring ideas, photos or sketches to work from but this is not essential. Please bring with you any textured paper, net curtain, lace, dried flowers, leaves etc that can be stuck down and inked to create texture and imagery. If you don't have these, don't worry we can provide some for you.

Please wear old clothes as printing can get messy. No sandals, heels or open toed shoes. Aprons will be provided. You may want to bring a packed lunch. Teas, coffee, water and biscuits are provided.
