Printmaking:
Two Day Studio Course 

In response to Compton Verney’s exhibition Emma Talbot: How We Learn To Love, artists from Creative in Nature host this short series of exploratory printmaking workshops.

You will explore a mixture of printmaking and recording processes, from initial studies using sketching, expressive mark making and collage translated onto large scale experimental collagraphy pieces constructed with found, used and gathered materials.

You’ll draw intensively from a collection of personal objects, effects and ephemera to consider the formal elements of drawing (line, tone, texture, form, perspective) as a means of expression. You’ll have a chance to explore narrative and sequence, documenting and cataloguing through drawing, as well as more conceptual approaches to drawing.

Exploring themes of the human body, life, objects and their importance, identity, memories, humanity and our connections with the natural world. These initial studies will then be explored in more detail before being taken into a mixture or printmaking processes, such as collagraphy, etching, tetra pack and mono printing.

This two-day workshop series will give the participant an opportunity to explore different art-based processes in a more expressive and experimental way, with the focus on the exploration of process and creativity.
