At college I studied Relief, Intaglio and Screenprint techniques. Since then I’ve specialised in woodcuts and linocuts in my spare time. Everything else is a bit rusty, so I’m going back to basics to relearn old techniques and hopefully some new ones.
Join me 🙂
Linocut
Easy to cut and great for smooth curves, linoleum makes for a great printing experience.
Etching
From Spit-bite to sugar lift and aquatint to elecrolytic etching. This medium has teeth.
Silkscreen
A medium capable of amazing 3 colour process, but also serigraphy and striking poster art.
Monotype
Single plates of glass, metal and plastic can be inked, printed and reworked to build series of unique images.
Woodcut
From Durer to Munch, woodcuts carry the unmistakeable feel of history. This takes guts.
Lithography
Beautiful painterly tusches and photographic techniques which exploit the chemistry of oil and water – can’t wait.
Engraving
Scraping, carving, rocking and rubbing plastic, metal and hard wood to build beautiful delicate drawn prints.
Collagraph
A sculptural medium where a plate is built up using materials like carborundum, fabric, card or any texture.
GET INTO PRINT
The aim of this site is to promote printmaking as a brilliant modern medium. Whoever you are and whatever your situation, there is something to be gained from self expression through art. Printmaking is great because it gives you a framework of techniques, which, in my experience help an artist get out of their head and see stuff from a different perspective.
