Through discussion and demonstration we will examine the relationship between the artist’s concepts and the possibilities that the artist book format offers to express your ideas. This is a three day masterclass.

Explore the experimental printmaking technique of Mokulito - a hybrid lithographic process using the surface of wood to create a wide range of gestural and tonal marks. 

Learn how to make and print photopolymer plates, in combination with digital photography, to create Photogravure etchings. 

Learn how to design and create a durable, reusable leather covered notebook. No stitching involved!

This is a three part workshop which includes two online sessions and a full weekend of printing.

This workshop will help you develop a significant body of work with advanced photogravure techniques that focus on larger scale, multi-plate prints.

This three day workshop explores the Collagraph process, plus a suite of drawing and stencilling techniques to produce distinctive printed paintings on paper.

Mokulito utilises and adapts the principles of lithography allowing you to print from a wooden surface rather than a stone or aluminium plate. Mokulito enables to blend pure litho marks and sharp woodcut marks on the same piece of plywood using a wide range of drawing materials directly on the surface of the wood.

Explore and learn the use of photopolymer printing plates in combination with digital photography to create Photogravure etchings.
