Learn the traditional etching method on copper and how to add colour layers to your prints. The November workshop “Printing With Colour” can be taken as an extension where you create a colour layer for the print you developed in one of the other two workshops.
Bookings are limited to groups of 3 or 4 only. Book early so you can prepare a sketch of what you would like to print. Workshops can also be arranged for individuals and groups on a flexible basis. Get in contact if you would like to arrange one.
