Understand how different papers and inks can be used to print by hand
Successfully make prints by hand using a variety of print methods
Use different printmaking methods to get line, tone & texture in your prints
Develop images by exploring colour printing techniques

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.
