📢 Portfolio Course Newcomer! 📢 1 Year Extended Illustration - Drawing, Print & Play is a brand new carefully curated addition to our programme of portfolio courses. Taught by @grh_illustration @marrowannat @emmagregorymakes and @pirrip_press this course is designed for individuals looking to enhance their practice by exploring illustrative techniques in printmaking. It is ideal for those wishing to continue their studies after a degree or MA, or for anyone looking to expand their skills through experimentation and learning new techniques. A variety of practical workshops and creative exercises will explore both conventional and unconventional methods to build a more flexible practice that can adapt to a rapidly evolving professional landscape. Each term will look at different print approaches with a variety of set briefs. The focus will be on concept, technique and context combined with experimentation and play. Ideas for print designs will be discussed in the group or on an individual basis to expand the possibilities of print into a more authorial practice. In the first term you will learn processes based on mark-making, line and tone, in particular drypoint and collagraph. In the second term you will learn more print techniques: lino, Pochoir and screen print in order to explore the role of shape, line and colour. In the third term you will have a short zine project looking at quick book forms and preparing dummy books for Riso printing. The second half of this term is your chance to revisit, combine and extend the processes you have learnt and focus on an individual project or edition. Read more and book onto this course on our website.
