Spread Some Inky Joy!
This one-day workshop will take participants through setting, imposing, registration, proofing and printing. You will print an edition of A6 postcards of words of your choosing and design from the artists' collection of type, ornament and printing blocks.
The session will start by quickly setting and printing something to get a feel for the process. You will then have time to peruse the collection and plan out your design. The next stages are setting and imposing the design ready for the press. Printing will be completed either on an Adana 8 x 5 Press or the Farley Proofing Press. Each participant will go home with an edition of their postcards and a copy of each other’s.
- Tools, equipment and a range of Materials will be provided.
- Tea, coffee, and light snacks will be provided but do bring your lunch with you.
- Wear old, warm clothes and tie back long hair (if applicable)
The workshop will be held in my studio which is part of the Outer Spaces network at 3 Redheughs Avenue, Edinburgh, EH12 9RH. Outer Spaces at Edinburgh Park is in a repurposed commercial office space. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow print enthusiasts and share ideas while enjoying a creative and relaxed atmosphere.
