Intaglio Print Making Open Studio

In this 8-week open studio course led by artist Vanessa, you’ll have the space and guidance to further develop your own printmaking projects.

Through demonstrations tailored to student interests, you’ll explore a range of intaglio techniques — including soft ground, hard ground, sugar or coffee lift, step aquatint, and chine collé — with the goal of producing an edition of prints. Professional editioning practices will also be covered, offering insight into the methods used by working artists.

What to bring:

• Apron
• Sketchbook (A4 or A5)
• Pencil, eraser, sharpener
• Some standard quality paper is provided for printing. If students require specialist printmaking paper they will be required to source and purchase their own, this will be discussed in the first class

Students must wear appropriate clothing, closed-toe shoes and tie up long hair for safety reasons.
