This course will offers an opportunity to experiment with relief printing. You will create a small edition of multi coloured prints using reduction technique with step by step guidance. Advanced or returning students can pursue a personal relief printmaking project or development assisted by the tutor.
We will be looking at examples print and image making to inspire us. Teaching is both in groups and on an individual, one-to-one basis, with technical and critical advice depending on your needs, and the ideas you want to realise. The tutor will give demonstrations, presentations and lead group discussions. All students record and assess progress via a Learning Statement. In order to ensure that you make the best possible progress on your course, you will have regular feedback from your tutor, in a constructive and supportive environment.
