SUMMER SCHOOL 26th July-31st July 2010

'Printmaking - Collagraph & Drypoint' with Christine Tacq.

Monday 26th to Saturday 31st The first three days of this course are essential for the step by step build up of working methods. A portable etching press and good quality materials will be shared to enable both beginners and more experienced printmakers create fine-art prints with amazing tones, colours and textures. You will take home drypoint (velvety scratched line) prints drawn from observation and collagraph prints, inspired by layering and textures (be prepared to get inky). The course will help you develop a personal language through print, introducing, at the end of the week, simple printmaking for book forms and printing without a press.

CHRISTINE TACQ’s artist’s books of etchings and collagraphs are exhibited internationally and held in important collections. She works from “The p’s & q’s press” at her etching and letterpress studio in Thame, Oxfordshire. Having almost always taught printmaking, she also has a wide experience of working on exciting projects with all age groups. 'www.christinetacq.blogspot.com'
