Drawing Through Printmaking weekend course at WYPW

Weekend course
Saturday 25th / Sunday 26th June 2016
11 – 5

Tutor: Shelley Burgoyne

Join artist and printmaker Shelley Burgoyne to develop your image making skills through accessible and experimental drawing exercises, then work with a range of collage and textural materials to explore a fluid and experimental approach to intaglio printmaking. The course runs alongside Shelley’s solo exhibition here in the WYPW gallery.

This course is a great introduction to collagraph and carborundum printmaking techniques, with time to explore new approaches to image-making. Collagraph involves collaging textural materials onto a base plate, and printing from the plate using a press, and carborundum grit allows painterly areas of rich tone to be created.

The course is suitable for people with some experience, as well as complete beginners, and will give you the skills to continue working in your own time at WYPW.

Shelley Burgoyne is an exhibiting Fine Art Printmaker with many years experience teaching and leading printmaking courses. She works mainly with drypoint, collagraph, carborundum and relief print processes. Her creative approach is organic and intuitive; exploring form and line, and the potential of printed layers.
