Inverlochy Art School in Wellington are offering a workshop
called Just Add Colour - Colour (Intaglio) Printmaking
as part of their Summer School programme
from 9-13 January 2012
 |
| Christine Porter (AU), Moon Dreamer, 2010 Multi-plate colour etching, 6x7cm, edition of 90 |
This workshop concentrates on the printing part of (intaglio) print-making.
Five days of exploring the many ways of adding colour
to an already etched plate or on plates created in class.
There’ll be no actual etching with acid this week:
the cheap easy drypoint alternatives are a way to learn transferable skills
and as legitimate artwork in themselves.
Working small at first, we will create a library of marks and techniques –
each student will compile and bind their many inking, wiping
and printing experiments into a self-printed, studio resource artists’ book.
Most will edition at least one print.
Topics include comparing various inks, selective wiping, blending and mixing colours,
spot colours, multi-plate printing, ink alternatives, the safe studio and much more.
Both beginning and experienced printmakers are welcomed and catered for.
Fee: $360
Tutor: Christine Porter
