Is this course for me

This is not a course for a beginner to the subject but for students who want to continue printmaking with an experienced tutor who can support their printmaking.

Course aims

By the end of the course you should be able to:

* Identify and critically compare approaches to dry point printing
* Produce at least 4 one colour prints using the dry point Etching printing technique
* Critically evaluate your choice of materials, tools and techniques through a group or individual processes
* Explain the health and safety considerations for all resources and tools used

You will need to make sure you have an apron or overall as printing is a messy artform. The inks for the course will be provided but any specialist papers and plates will need to be provided by the student. The centre does have a selection of small plates students can buy but not all sizes.
