Printmaking Classes
This course is designed to suit the absolute beginner through to experienced artists.
Beginners will be guided through, step by step and shown the basics of lino cuts, wood cuts and dry point etching and other printmaking methods. For the more advanced students, Carrie can assist with more technical printmaking techniques, design ideas and inspiration to develop their art practice.
Other printmaking methods may also be demonstrated such as Cyanotype, Drypoint and Gelli Plate Printing.
Each session will run for 2 hours. Students can enjoy a fully equipped, studio that is a shared space with other artists and also a gallery and retail area where they are welcome to shop for printmaking supplies and other products/art in the gallery.
