Beginners Collagraph Printmaking Workshop

Step into the world of Collagraph Printmaking with local artist John Dearing and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Spurn NNR.

Looking for a gift for Mother's Day, an activity to do with friends or want to learn a new skill?

Join local landscape artist and printmaker John Dearing and learn the processes and techniques of Collagraph Printmaking, from designing and cutting your plate, to pulling your plate through a press. Before the session we will take a short stroll around Spurn to take in the unique and beautiful landscape for inspiration. You will then create your very own unique and personal A5 design to take away with you. You can also bring along your own reference materials (drawings or photographs) to work from.

All materials will be provided.

This workshop is suitable 18+ due to the tools we will be using.

Coffee and tea will be provided and there will also be the opportunity to purchase a delicious slice of cake.

Looking forward to printing with you all.
