Drypoint on Card & Plastic
£65
Tuesday 28th February
10am -4pm
Venue: Leighton Buzzard
Drypoint is a direct way of making an intaglio print.  This technique can produce simple strong images with emphasis on the texture and quality of line unique to drypoint where the ink is held in the burrs kicked up by the needle giving the image its characteristic velvety line. Drypoint card produces quite different results to drypoint plastic, each have their strengths. We will be exploring the qualities of both in this workshop.
Please book directly with me susan@erskine-jones.com
Examples can be found on the Participants page under the Drypoint tab.

Drypoint with monoprinting
£65
Thursday 7th March
10am-4pm
Venue: Leighton Buzzard
Drypoint line has a softer velvety quality than the sharp detail of an etched image. Marks can be made with anything that will break the surface/scratch the plate. This most typically is an etching needle. By combining the drypoint with a monoprint colour can be added to the print. 
Please book directly with me susan@erskine-jones.com
Examples can be found on the Participants page under the Drypoint tab.

Monoprinting with Rollers
£65
Tuesday 14th March
10am - 4pm
Venue: Leighton Buzzard
Monoprints will be made on aluminium plates using ink applied with rollers. The plate is then developed by drawing into the ink or manipulating it using additive or reductive techniques.
You will be able to make intuitive and gestural marks allowing the medium of monoprinting to be your guide. You will be encouraged to ‘play seriously’ with marks and colours and be open to the creative processes of this type of monoprinting.
Please book directly with Berkhamsted Arts and Crafts: www.bacshop.co.uk/classes.lc
