Explore a range of exciting portrait processes on this five-week course.

You’ll explore chiaroscuro in both drawing and monoprinting, will add decorative elements to your prints and learn how to observe and create accurate facial proportions.
Join us for a taster session exploring linocut relief printing techniques and print a range of your own greeting cards, or designs onto paper.
Your tutor will guide you through designing an image for linocut. You will be shown how to carve the lino block, apply the inks, and print it – both with our traditional Albion and Imperial relief printing presses, and burnishing by hand. You will be shown examples of lino prints and advice on the kind of designs that work best.
Spend a day learning how to use specialist woodcutting tools to carve your own design into high-quality plywood to print from. You’ll learn how to use oil based inks and use Leeds Print Workshop’s traditional relief printing presses, as well as other printing methods including hand burnishing. This is a great introduction to woodcut techniques.

During the afternoon session you’ll have the opportunity to find out which species are making their way to the UK for the winter and where they’ve been breeding during the summer months.
You’ll also learn which birds are leaving after breeding here and where they’ll be spending the next few months before their return next spring.
