Come prepared with your sketches and inspirational images, and recreate an original work or an edition of prints to give away as presents
This is an evening course over two Tuesdays 6-9pm
All materials are provided on the course
This full-day workshop introduces participants to creating bold, expressive 2–3 layer hand-drawn screenprints. Working from their own sketches or simple reference images, students will learn how to turn hand-drawn marks into layered artwork ready for screen exposure. We’ll explore beginner-friendly approach to separating drawings into graphic shapes and lines, combining freehand elements with hand-cut stencils to build dynamic compositions. The session covers exposing screens, setting up and using the press, and straightforward registration methods for producing clean multicolour prints. By the end of the day, each participant will create a small edition of their own screenprints on paper.
This beginner-friendly workshop introduces you to the beautiful and historic cyanotype process. Led by artist and printmaker Josephine McCormick, you’ll learn each stage of the technique through demonstrations, hands-on practice, and expert guidance.
Cyanotype is an early photographic process that produces striking blue prints. During the course, you’ll experiment with botanicals, stencils, flat objects, and high-contrast black-and-white photographs to create unique prints. All materials are provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own botanicals, lace, flat jewellery, or other objects to personalise your work. We’ll also ask you to send two black-and-white photographic images in advance.
By the end of the day, you’ll take home a collection of stunning cyanotype prints.
