*SPW members have a week’s priority booking before we open the workshop bookings to everyone. Please book early to avoid disappointment.
Learn and practise drypoint printmaking, using Chine Collé to add layers and colour to your prints.
Please bring drawings or photos to work from: something that you like, something that inspires you. Also, any papers that you think you’d like to experiment with layering into your prints – for example tissue papers, or any other papers or fabrics. They must be thin, clean and dry.
Some knowledge of the technique would be useful but is not essential.
This workshop is supporting artists and printmakers to create small scale work which can be submitted via CuratorSpace to MiniPrint Cymru | Wales, a Wales-Wide initiative to raise the profile of printmaking in Wales. You can find out more about MiniPrint Cymru | Wales @ SPW here.
About the Artist
I am an artist and printmaker, living and working in the Gwendraeth Valley, Carmarthenshire. My art practice is rooted in developing my capacity for attention and care, and I often begin with drawing and writing. My art work is exploratory, an on-going investigation. I am inspired by walking in the local landscape – this is a post-coalmining area, the westernmost of the Welsh coalfields. There are moments when something shines through the things around us, ordinary and damaged though they may seem to be – we might call it beauty, or we might feel it as joy – I try to notice and give attention to those moments.
