Suitable for artists, illustrators, designers and anyone with an interest in printmaking, the course will allow for a range of creative expressions. This will include how to get started with your ideas and how to choose and develop your imagery. Don’t worry if you aren’t confident in your drawing skills as the process allows for a range of techniques to transfer and develop images.

The processes and techniques covered will allow you to develop a wide range of skills within the intaglio process.

You will have access to a selection of original artists work in our gallery and archive to inspire you.

The aim is to provide a supportive, creative and playful environment to explore and enjoy printmaking. Taking place in our studio using professional facilities and materials.
