To date, I have concentrated on linocut (relief printing) and etching & aquatint (intaglio). I wanted to broaden my knowledge of the other relief printing techniques to see what would be of interest. With this in mind, I have just spent the last twelve months learning about these. For this I have to thank Susan Yeates at Magenta Sky for her excellent course, “Introduction to Printmaking”, that combines a comprehensive, hard copy guide with a series of demonstration videos. Details can be found by clicking here.
The course modules cover the following topics:
- Introduction
- Studio Space and Materials
- Drawing for Print and Research
- Monoprinting 1
- Monoprinting 2
- Collograph and Found Object Printing
- Linocut
- Woodcut
- Advanced Relief Printing
- Drypoint
- Simple Screenprinting
- Wood Engraving
- What’s Next
