Over the course of 2 days, artist Neil Kerr will take participants through the steps necessary to complete a stunning edition of high quality prints, combining both cyanotype and screenprinting practises.
On the first day, the class will learn how to create rich, emotive artworks using the unique cyanotype process of printmaking, which dates back to 1842. One of the oldest photographic printing processes in the history of photography, the distinctive feature of cyanotype prints are their shade of rich, deep prussian blue, which results from their exposure to ultraviolet light.
On day 2, participants will then utilize the distinctive and bold printmaking method of screenprinting to further enhance the artworks created, with each member taking home their own bespoke edition of 12 stunning works, printed onto high quality fine art paper.
This class is suitable for those with printing experience or those keen to try their hand at printmaking for the first time.
Designed for beginners and those with some experience. During this course you will be given a hands-on introduction to etching on Copper. You will be shown how to make your own prints using a variety of techniques under the guidance of your experienced tutor.
Etching is a medium with a long and varied history and can produce prints with great detail, richness and texture. The aim of this course is to give you an idea of the possibilities of the medium and a thorough introduction to working with hard and soft grounds (line, pattern and texture) as well as Aquatints (tones).
What you will achieve by the end: You will leave with a small edition of etchings and a foundation on how to create editions of your image to share with others or adding to the growth of your printmaking and artistic practice.
