This Printmaking course has a structured but relaxed learning plan which will identify your individual needs to help you reach your goals as you continue to practise and develop skills. You will work from observation and imagination including keeping a sketchbook. The aim of the course is to help you discover the joy of printmaking and for the more experienced to explore new ways of approaching their work. There is an opportunity to make zinc etching plates and explore various ways of printing the intaglio image. It is suitable for anyone who is prepared for a messy but creative process. By the end of the course you will be able to: Demonstrate how to prepare and ground an etching plate, Demonstrate using the safety procedures shown by the tutor how to use the etching acids and printing presses, Illustrate how to produce a line etching using specialised tools and equipment, Demonstrate how to ink and wipe a plate and produce a finished print, For more advanced students demonstrate the technique of aquatinting, Be aware of and work to relevant Health and Safety guidelines, Beginners or the more experienced or anyone wishing to transform their own work into an etching or print, It is important to note that Art courses are practical and require a degree of manual dexterity.
