15th May 2026 – This workshop was led by Lynda and was a continuation on the May theme of Printmaking. A big thank you to Lynda who brought all the materials we needed, including her new mini etching press which worked perfectly. Members had a really enjoyable morning creating an etching (many for the first time) and waiting for the ‘big reveal’ of the print.
8th May 2026 – Stuart gave an interesting talk on the background of Mezzotint printing, a technique invented by Ludwig von Siegen in 1642. Stuart brought in a lot of his prints and explained the process and tools he used to create his amazing artwork. It was fascinating to watch how he prepared the copper plate, created an image through to the final print. It was a really enjoyable morning.
1st May 2026 – This workshop was led by Lynda who provided all the equipment for members to use and gave a short demonstration on the different techniques to explore. It was the first time for most of the members to try out mono-printing with some great results.
24th April 2026 – Members spent time this morning either completing work from a previous workshop or on something of their choice. Lynda took the opportunity to explain what to expect in the May workshops where we will be exploring different printing techniques.
17th April 2026 – This is a continuation from Lynne’s Cartoon workshop. Members had the opportunity to create their own cartoon strip following some great advice and tips from Lynne.
