Drypoint Taster (One Day)

Etching Weekend : Hardground and Aquatint with Zinc

Over the weekend, you will learn not only hardground etching but how to add tones using the aquatint technique which achieves images with a wash quality rather like ink or watercolour.
One Day Workshop : Liftground Etching with Aluminium

Linocut Weekend

Linocut is a form of relief printing that uses Linoleum (flooring material) which is carved into with curving tools. Ink is applied to the surface of the prepared block with an ink roller, so when printed on to paper, the cut-away areas remain white.

Woodcut is another form of relief printing using wood materials (hard or soft). Ink is applied to the surface of the prepared block with an ink roller and the cut-away areas remain white.
