Course outline

What is the course about?

The course is intended as an extension of a complete printmaking course, operating as a workshop where you can negotiate your individual learning plans with the tutor. It is a great opportunity for people who want to make use of extra sessions in the printroom.

What topics will we cover?

All techniques covered in City Lit printmaking courses can be applied, such as collography, lino cut, etching, drypoint, photo etching and monoprinting.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

- apply any processes that you may have missed on a previous printmaking course
- complete outstanding personal projects
- take away a well presented final print using a template for registration
- expand experimentation with an existing plate.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

This course is specifically aimed at learners with previous printmaking experience. You should have competed the beginner's programme in printmaking as a minimum.

You should be able to follow simple written and verbal instructions to support demonstrations, hand-outs and for health and safety information, and will be invited to take part in group discussion. You should be able to use numbers and be able to do simple measurements and calculations.

Please look at the rest of the course outline carefully to decide if you may benefit from support in your English and Maths skills to help you to take part fully in this class.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

A personal programme of work will be negotiated between you and the tutor and the teaching will take the form of one-to-one guidance within a workshop environment.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

Most materials are provided, however, if you wish to use a high quality printing paper you can purchase this from your tutor at cost price. Basic paper for printing is provided. Additional zinc plates and photo etching plates will also be charged at cost.

Do I need to have an interview before I can enrol?

No.

What feedback will I get?

You will receive regular feedback from your tutor throughout the course, as and when appropriate. At the end of the course you and your tutor are asked to assess the progress you have made.

How will I be able to give my views on the course?

Please complete the evaluation form at the end of your course. These are monitored and help us to continually improve our courses.

How do I find out if I can get some support for my learning?

You may be interested in: education and careers advice; financial and childcare support; disability support; support for Deaf and hearing-impaired students; dyslexia support; English and maths support; counselling, and library services (supported learning centre). To find out what may be available to you, and how to apply, see page 213 of the 11/12 course guide, or visit www.citylit.ac.uk/students
