This workshop will introduce you to a version of collograph which uses relief inking methods to produce prints using our fantastic range of etching presses and equipment in the print workshop.
You’ll use oil based inks, stencils, collage and textures to create an exciting series of prints. This is a great introduction to the collograph technique.
On this one day workshop you will learn how to use the tools, materials and techniques to get started in bookbinding.

Bookbinding is great for creating notebooks, sketchbooks, albums or books which are art objects in themselves.
Join us for a taster session exploring linocut relief printing techniques and print a range of your own greeting cards, or designs onto paper.

You will gain an understanding of the photo stencil emulsion technique and will learn how to coat and expose screens.
Monoprinting uses a plate and stencil process and multiple layers of oil-based ink to make unique prints.
