Printmaker's Toolkit Session

Printmaker's Toolkit Session

WYPW member Graham Riding has spent the past year in the workshops here at WYPW getting to grips with using copper sulphate to etch aluminium plates. He uses hard ground, drypoint, open-bite and hand-burnishing to create his dark, atmospheric prints, without the need for aquatint. Come and join him for an informal discussion and demonstration of his working process.

These 1 hour morning sessions will focus on technique, practise and making, and will comprise of practical demonstrations and talks led by practising artists and printmakers. The sessions are intended to encourage, inspire, and generate ideas and conversation about printmaking, so don’t be afraid to ask questions! Both members and non-members are welcome to attend. If you are not a member, or indeed a printmaker, they can act as taster sessions to show you just what printmaking is all about. If you are a member, the sessions can offer valuable hints and tips to help further your printmaking practise, or introduce you to a new technique.

Sessions will run bi-monthly from 10.30 – 11.30am on a Tuesday morning.
