SUMMER SCHOOL
28th July-2nd August 2008

'Printmaking - Collagraph & Drypoint'
with Christine Tacq.

Monday to Saturday

The first three days of this course are essential for the step-by-step build up of working methods. A portable etching press & good quality materials will be shared to enable both beginners & more experienced printmakers to create fine-art prints with amazing tones, colours & textures. Starting with postcard-sized semi-abstract collagraph prints, in a variety of colours, from cut & collaged card with added textured surfaces (be prepared to get inky), drypoint (velvety lines printed from drawings into plastic or metal) and other techniques (some without a press), the course will help you develop a personal language through print, on a larger scale by the end of the week.
CHRISTINE TACQ’s prints and artist's books are in many international collections. She works from 'The p’s & q’s Press', etching and letterpress studio in Thame. Having almost always taught printmaking, she also has a wide experience of working on exciting projects with all age groups.

Course Cost for 6 days £198.
