Linocut - Colour Reductionwith Angela Lai Yen

Intermediate Level

In a Colour Reduction, a print of multi-coloured layers is taken from a single block.
Each colour is a layer and printed onto the previous colour before further lino is carved away.
The entire edition must be printed as the block continues to be reduced. 

You will be guided, step by step through the traditional method of colour reduction. You will gain a better understanding of this complex process and how to tackle it with confidence. 

To get the best out of this class, you already have the ability to carve with precision and some skills in applying ink to block and printing with a press. Come to the first class with your image in COLOUR.

Consultation prior to the class is available and advised.

Soft Ground Etchingwith Rachel Wilcox

Suitable for those who have basic knowledge of etching or those who have taken a class with Rachel prior.
 
When soft ground is applied to an etching plate because of its tacky nature it enables the printmaker to retain any impressions made on it. Any object with a surface texture can be impressed into the ground – you will be amazed at the prints you make.

In this class, you will create a print focusing on textures from found objects.
Once your plate is complete, you can print it mutliple times to produce a good collection of prints.
