Event information
Join tutor Emma James on this two day workshop to print your own sketchbooks. After collecting fallen leaves and natural materials from the Garden, you will learn different printmaking techniques by combining plant materials and creating layered prints by printing onto cotton rag and assorted papers. Experiment with masks and ghost prints to create individual and subtle images inspired by plants and vistas from the gardens.
On the second day you will select prints to make your books: a simple sewn sketchbook with printed covers and inserts, a printed concertina Artists’ Book, and a concertina sketchbook. Emma will give step by step demonstrations of how to measure, cut, crop and prepare your prints, and how to construct your books. By the end of the course you will have created three individual books and many prints.
