One day workshop | Wednesday | February 26 | 2025 | 10:30 – 16:30 

£75 Full/ Keyholder member | £ 85 Ordinary Member  | £95 Non-Member

Those of you who are familiar with Sarah’s work will know that she has her own unique approach to designing for print, capitalising on cut and torn paper stencils to build imagery through coloured layers.

This is a very open, non-technical approach enabling great flexibility.

We ask you to bring along multiple drawings or photographs to work with.

With her wealth of experience, Sarah will guide you through the interpretive process of translating your ideas into print. You’ll also have an opportunity to experiment by creating ‘ghost’ monotypes.

This course is suitable for beginners, and no previous printmaking experience is necessary.

About the Artist

You can read more about Sarah and her work on her website and in the extract below:

I’m a printmaker living in South Wales.

Man-made landscapes, and agricultural, industrial and urban environments are recurring themes in my work.

I have always been fascinated by our nation’s heritage and the architectural shapes and patterns of the landscape which tell us so much about the history and culture of a place. My recent work primarily focuses on my heritage and the significance of treasured objects and heirlooms.

Through printmaking techniques, I challenge myself to explore new ways to present my observations. I mostly create intricate, hand-cut paper stencils, and screen print layers of vibrant colour to build images. Much like a painting, I work from the background, adding depth and detail. I like to break the rules of traditional printmaking and experiment by layering light pigments over dark, enjoying the translucency and opacity of the medium.

We are close to the main shopping centre and supermarket.

Parking is free all day outside the studio on Sundays only. 3 hour parking is available outside of the controlled city centre zone. There are also multiple long stay car parks in the town centre.
