Printmaking Classes
2026 8 week courses
Carrie’s Printmaking classes are designed for beginners as well as experienced artists.
All new students start with the same introductory project which they work with for the first 1/2 of the term, then Carrie guides each student into their own unique project. Students are encouraged to try different carving styles and techniques. The class is limited to 8 students, this way there is plenty of opportunities for individual assistance and guidance from your tutor.
Students can expect to cover relief printing on wood blocks and lino. Starting with single colours and working up to various colour layering techniques. There will also be opportunities for students to cover some basic intaglio printmaking techniques, such as dry point etching.
No experience is required and all start-up materials are provided. (additional materials may need to be purchased such as paper etc).
