About the class
Join Bina Butcher for an engaging 8-week printmaking workshop where you'll explore the dynamic techniques of Monoprint and Intaglio.
In this course, you'll learn to create unique, one-of-a-kind prints through a variety of methods, focusing on expressive mark-making and textural effects.You will be guided through reductive and stencil monoprinting, drypoint etching on recycled materials, and textural collagraph prints, while incorporating both traditional and found materials to inspire your work.
Participants will also become familiar with the print studio and equipment, including printing using an etching press and gain practical skills in mixing and applying inks.
This workshop is suitable for beginners but also ideal for those looking to expand their printmaking skills in a creative and collaborative environment.
