Join the printmaking revolution and learn how to create your own repeat images. On this one-day workshop you’ll explore relief and intaglio techniques through drypoint and linocut. You will discover how to use recycled materials as printmaking plates, what household items can be used in place of a press, explore different surfaces for relief printing and what inks will clean up with minimum effort. The methods are direct and fun whilst producing professional results. Explore what type of papers will give you the wow factor and experience the excitement that comes from revealing the first prints of your own designs.
This workshop is designed for beginners or artists wanting to discover a new medium.
Please note there is a £5 materials charge payable on the day.

What to expect
Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all. We provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors and the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas. You can even leave us to clear up the mess! There will usually be two workshops going on and we encourage everyone to mingle and be nosey about what the other workshop is up to.
We encourage you to arrive at 9.30am. This will allow time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning workshops at 10am. There will be a mid-morning break for refreshments and a chance to talk over progress with others. Lunch is usually around 12:45 for about 45 mins – you can expect a delicious homemade 2 course lunch. There will be a further afternoon break with tea or coffee and cake. All food and refreshments are included in the price of your workshop.
The finish time given is a target. There are occasions when the session may overrun so do let us know if you need to be away promptly.
We aim for your day to be a real treat. You could always learn a new skill in a shed or a draughty village hall with a curly sandwich, but we want you to have more fun than that! So we make sure we provide a day where you will be looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!
