Description
This course is ideal for beginners, repeat attendees or visitors to London, to offer an in depth introduction to relief and intaglio printmaking. For the first two days, you will learn to work with Japanese wood carving tools to create a series of multi-colour reduction relief prints on linoleum. Mid-week the group will visit a major London art exhibition before returning to etch a zinc plate in a mordant of saline sulphate. You will learn to combine both a hard-ground line and aquatint tone to create a series of black and white etchings. Guided by one to one tutoring from Victoria Browne, students will expand their knowledge to realise a portfolio of prints.
The studio is a low-toxic environment with dedicated printmaking facilities for professional hands-on learning. There is a maximum of eight students per course, materials are included and we advise that you book early to avoid disappointment.
The Art Academy is conveniently located minutes away from London Bridge (Northern and Jubilee lines, National Rail services) and Borough (Northern line) underground stations. Just moments walk from the Thames; The Art Academy is also ideally located for access to Southbank galleries, cafe's bars and Borough food market.
