You will be introduced to multiple ways to combine a variety of printmaking techniques (e.g. silkscreen, monoprinting, laser cutting, etc.) and how to compliment your artistic practice. You will be introduced to experimentation within printmaking practices and how other contemporary artists who explore the notion of multimedia in their prints are pushing the pre-set rules of what printmaking is today.
What will we cover?
We will look at how to place your image on to the block. We will discuss inks and papers suitable for printing relief blocks. You will cut, etch and develop imagery on a block via proofing as part of the process and explore printing by press and by hand burnishing as a way to reveal nuances of line and tonality. We will reference woodcut prints and linocut prints, from various artists working in these media, past and present.
What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
prepare a design from source imagery for transfer to a woodblock
prepare a design for transfer to lino
identify the basic tools used for cutting relief blocks
cut a design that utilises line and tone for relief printing
prepare ink for relief printing
print a wood/lino block by hand burnishing
use a relief press to print a wood/lino block
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
Beginners to intermediate learners.
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.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
Demonstrations and personal application of different aspects of the media will be offered as you advance in knowledge and competence. You will take notes of all the procedures to then develop your own ideas and imagery.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
The course fee covers basic materials such as inks, a standard quality paper and general communal workshop sundries. Please bring sketches, photographs or other visual resources as a starting point to the first session.
When I've finished, what course can I do next?
The Printmaking studio offers many courses,short and long in different techniques and processes. There are also chances to develop personal projects. Your tutor will advice you on the best way to move forward with your printmaking practice
