The course will aim to provide a general overview of a number of basic printmaking techniques. During the course you will learn how to make relief prints, mono-prints, dry point etchings and paper stencil screen prints. These are all processes that are not reliant on specialist printmaking facilities and can therefore be practiced easily after the course has finished. The course is designed to help the student develop a basic knowledge of printmaking and to give them the confidence to move forward in this artistic medium, building their portfolios. For each technique the aim will be to contextualise the process within the contemporary art world. This course is suitable for everybody, from beginners interested in developing skills in printmaking, to the more experienced practitioner looking to refresh their knowledge and critique their practice.
