Relief Printing - Advanced Course with Anupa Gardner
This course is ideal for individuals who have previously participated in our relief weekend or evening courses, or those with some background in relief printing seeking to enhance their skills with established artist and printmaker Anupa Gardner. This Advanced Weekend Course takes place Saturday-Sunday on the following dates:
12&13 April 2025
4&5 October 2025
On Saturday, participants will explore different 'resists' and build up layers of etch on their lino blocks using caustic soda paste while also using traditional cutting methods. There will be the opportunity to create a collagraph block and proof the blocks. Later in the day participants will be introduced to colour, multiplate printing, and registration.
On Sunday, participants will continue working on their blocks for a short time. The remainder of the day will be dedicated to exploring various printmaking techniques, such as Chine Colle, paper stencilling, and combining collagraph with relief printing.
