About this event

  • Event lasts 28 days 3 hours

This five-week course introduces three types of monoprinting (direct, subtraction, and object methods) and relief printing (linocutting).

The tutor will introduce new techniques in each session and students will create a wide variety of prints throughout the course. The techniques need no specialist equipment, so students can continue working with them at home. We print on a range of papers, use collage and coloured printing inks.

Suitable for all levels including beginners, no experience or art training is needed.

Returning students or others familiar with the techniques are welcome, and may work on their own projects or try more advanced techniques with guidance and advice from the tutor as needed.

All materials are provided. Students are invited to bring their own images and ideas but the tutor will also provide objects and images for inspiration.

Please wear old clothes as printing can be messy.

Student comment about the course: 'I really enjoyed the variety of printmaking techniques covered in the course, with each lesson offering something new to learn and explore. The classes were a lot of fun and very relaxed as Rachel supported and encouraged us to experiment and be creative with what we learned. She also helped us to evaluate our work and gave suggestions and ideas about how to improve or what we could do differently. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole course and have learned new techniques that I will continue to explore at home. Thank you for an excellent course!'

About the courses at Phoenix Art Space 

Phoenix Art Space's courses provide a mix of high quality workshops aimed at practicing, and aspiring artists and art lovers. They are suitable for anyone (including beginners unless otherwise stated) who wants to learn new skills from professional artists and would like to meet likeminded people in a supportive and creative environment. We normally provide all the basic materials unless stated in the course descriptions. You need to sign up in advance as some popular courses fill up very quickly.

All courses are aimed at adults (over 18) unless otherwise stated. Course fees are kept as low as possible to encourage everyone to participate in the arts, including those on low incomes but not eligible for benefits, such as many artists. Therefore we do not offer separate concessionary rates for members of the public. We are unable to offer discounted rates for other reasons, for instance if you are unable to attend all the sessions, unless the course has already started and has unfilled spaces.

We accept payments online by credit or debit card and PayPal. Offline payment options are only available when booking a ticket in person at the Phoenix Art Space front desk during gallery opening hours.

We regret we are unable to provide car or bicycle parking facilities (except for students with disabilities).

If you have any additional needs please let us know and we will endeavour to accommodate them. We have disabled access on the ground floor where the courses are held, including a ramp and toilet facilities. Please email chloe@phoenixbrighton.org for information.

Booking Terms and Conditions:

Refunds require 2 weeks notice prior to the start of the course and will involve the deduction of our costs such as transaction fees or bank charges. If less than less than 2 weeks notice is given prior to the course start date we regret that refunds or transfers to other courses are NOT possible. 

Courses are aimed at over 18s.

If a course is cancelled we will endeavour to give as much notice as possible by sending participants an email. It is rare for us to cancel courses but it occasionally happens due to events beyond our control, in that case we refund the payment in full.

Please ensure you check your email before a class starts as we or the tutor may be in touch with instructions/advice.
