WOOD CUTS
Saturday/Sunday Oct 2 - 3 2010 | 10.00 – 16.00
With Chris Daunt
Wood Cuts are a form of relief printmaking not dissimilar to linocuts involving cutting away areas along the natural grain on the flat side of the piece of wood leaving the image areas. Apply ink with a roller and print onto paper by hand or with a press to give a crisp result. With their distinctive style and long heritage, woodcuts offer great creative possibilities. Chris will guide you through the design and cutting process showing you how to create a wide range of cut marks to interpret your image. Different woods will be used so that you can print in layers and really exploit the natural wood grain.

ANIMAL MAGIC PART 1 & 2
2 x 4 Tuesday evenings from Sept 28 -16 Nov 2010
| 18.45 - 21.15 | With Mandy Pattullo
In part 1 Use the wonderful textures and shapes of animals and birds as a starting point for print exploration and development. In the first 4 weeks (28 Sept, 5, 12 and 19th October) you will use mixed media to create and print collagraph plates. Learn to ink up effectively, cut shaped plates and combine them. Textile artists can print on to fabric that can be used as a basis for stitch and fabric collage.
In part 2 (26th Oct, 2nd, 9th and 16th Nov) the animal kingdom continues to be a visual resource but interpret it using lino or vinyl prints. It could be used as a production line for Christmas cards: deer, geese, turtledoves, turkeys and robins make great lino-cuts! You can even use metallic inks for a really festive result. Mandy will demonstrate her expertise with chine colle allowing you to add collage elements to enhance the printed surface.
The courses are suitable for beginners as well as those with experience. Previous students are welcome to come and work on their own print projects. Book these courses together or separately.

Wood engraving is a highly detailed form of relief printmaking, capable of exquisite nuance and detail, with an incredible range of mark-making possibilities. The technique involves engraving on highly polished end grain blocks with a variety of gravers, and printing from the relief surface. Great care must be taken in the preparation of the drawing and the engraving of the block, but the results are always worth the effort.
