In this two-day workshop you will be transforming household packaging into playful prints using the magic of printmaking.

An informal and relaxed workshop.
By the end of the two days, you will have:
*Learned how to prepare and translate an image into both an intaglio and relief collagraph and their differences.
* How to manipulate the packaging with different tools and techniques to achieve tonal variation with contrasting linear mark making
*How to ink the plate for both intaglio and relief and how to combine the two
*Which paper to choose and how to prepare them along with plate registration and good working practice in achieving a clean result.
*Printing with a press
*Explored different papers for Chine Collé and incorporated them into our prints (a process of adding colour to your prints through collaging paper into your print)
*Designed, made, inked and printed a collection of original print using both intaglio and relief inking with Chine Collé.

They are a 15 minute walk from Swansea High Street train station and a 10 minute walk from Swansea’s central bus station.
The nearest pay and display car parks are situated behind Mission Gallery in the Pumphouse and also in Somerset Place, a 5 minute walk. Parking spaces are also available in Gloucester Place, however, use of the Park and Ride system on Fabian Way, is a good alternative due to limited parking.
