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
