In the morning I will take you through an exploration of tone, shape and composition, developing drawing techniques using pencil and charcoal and a still life set up as inspiration.
After lunch, using the mornings drawings you will translate them into drypoint prints using tools to etch and shade into the plate showing you how to create tone before inking up. Claire will show you how to use the press to produce a small edition of prints to take away at the end of the day together with your plate and drawings.
This relaxed workshop welcomes beginners and improvers alike.
