WYPWcourses - Explore Drawing and Photo-Etching – February

Weekend course
Saturday 10th / Sunday 11th February 2018
11 – 4

This is a perfect course for those who want to expand and develop their artistic practice through printmaking. Photo-etching is a welcome alternative to complicated and sometimes hazardous print processes. Drawings and collages can be translated easily and quickly into high-quality intaglio prints. The process can be used on its own, or as an additional technique to use in conjunction with traditional etching or other printmaking techniques, making it both a great way to start off with etching, and a valuable additional skill for experienced printmakers.

The emphasis will be on creating hand-drawn images using experimental drawing and mark-making techniques, and transferring these onto etching plates using photopolymer film. The plates can then be printed in combination to create multi-layered prints, and can even be cut up into shapes to explore abstract compositions.

This course is designed for those who have had at least a little previous experience of intaglio printmaking techniques such as etching, photo-etching, solar plate or drypoint. It also requires an open mind and a willingness to embrace the accidental!
