    Collagraph Masterclass with Gillian Murray

    Draw on Gillian Murray's vast experience of working in collagraph. This weekend course allows ample time and opportunity to explore this deceptively simple and versatile technique. A collagraph is a print taken from a collaged plate. This course will explore making plates using different types of materials such as wallpaper, feathers, leaves, string, etc and sticking them down onto a piece of card which is then varnished. When ready, the ‘plate’ is then inked up and printed onto paper creating rich textures and an embossed surface. Image: Gillian Murray

    Screenprinting Weekend

    On the last weekend of the month, learn all about the dynamic and colorful process of screenprinting. This type of stencil can produce detailed marks such as painterly washes, linear drawings, photocopied images, and text. Participants will learn how to print their image in several coloured layers onto paper. To print, the screen is attached to a printing press, and acrylic based ink is pushed through the screen mesh onto paper using a squeegee blade. Each layer of colour is printed individually, taking care to register each new layer of ink on top of previously printed colours. During the course, each participant will work on their own print, creating 3-4 layers of colour onto paper. The process is explored through hands-on practice where participants learn the practical skills involved in making a screenprint. Paper size (& maximum image size) on the course is approximately 28 x 38cm. This course uses water-based inks on paper which are not suitable for printing on textiles. Booking over a month in advance? Use our Early Bird tickets for 15% off! This course also entitles you to a FREE 3-month Associate Membership to use in the studio and consolidate your skills. Learn more about screen printing on our YouTube channel here.
