This is a collaborative summer workshop divided over four days, students will engage in a life drawing class exploring figurative and expressive line drawing.

​

Students will be encouraged to create a series of small-scale drawing studies which will be transferred into drypoint printmaking plates.

​

Working from initial drawings into another process will allow students to make informed improvements to their images and to create a small print edition from their drypoint plates.

A variety of mark making will be explored using different tools, materials, and line repetition through to good inking techniques.

​

Students will work no bigger than A3 to A4, so that there is room to enlarge aspects of their drawings or to reduce to fit the drypoint plate size.

​

Please note:

​

Most printmaking materials will be provided although
plexi plate, drypoint needles, drawing and print making paper will be available to purchase on the day.
