Photo-Etching
With Aoife McGarrigle
Learn the basics of photo-etching and photo polymer printmaking. The process is an innovative new etching process, which allows the artist to produce photographic and digital images printed with the quality of a traditional etching. Students will learn how to expose and print photo polymer plates. This workshop will also explore photo-etching techniques. This process allows the artist to combine photo imagery with traditional etching techniques such as aquatint and hard/soft ground on the same plate. This offers the artist more freedom to alter the image with autographic marks.
Dates to be confirmed!

Stone Lithography (Courses will run in January - February 2012)
Learn the art of stone lithography. Often called the most "painterly" of the printmaking techniques, lithography is an ideal process for artists who like to work directly onto the printing surface. Using the stone as a completely smooth surface to draw on, this technique offers a great versatility for mark making. You will experiment with different drawing materials including litho crayon, rubbing ink, tusche washes and transfers.
This course covers drawing and processing the stone in a single colour, as well as multi-colour printing. Suitable for beginners.
Dates to be confirmed!
