Explore: Printmaking – extend and combine processes

About this course

Participants develop images by combining printmaking techniques and investigating how layering, colour, registration and repetition alter an image. The course encourages testing, reworking and reprinting, with mixed media approaches that may incorporate drawing, collage or painting. Alongside practical exploration, participants consider printmaking across different cultures and traditions, both historical and contemporary. They discuss their work and processes using printmaking terminology, reflecting on tests and revisions to make more informed creative decisions.
