    Visiting Artists Workshops

    You are here: Home / Courses / Visiting Artists Workshops

    At certain points during the year we have the facilities to ourselves allowing daytime access to the Print Studio. We take advantage of this by inviting guest artists/printmakers to come along and host a two day workshop, these are very popular and sell out quickly.

    The 2021 Summer Workshops

    Welcome to our summer season of workshops. The RPC will be running six weeks of outstanding workshops on Thursday and Fridays

    Multilayer Monotype Printmaking with Facilitator Nigel

    This workshop the key word is Multi, we will be using multi-coloured, multi-layering to make a multitude of prints ! Well a good few as least. By applying ink to an acrylic sheet we will work on several prints at the same time, using brushes, rollers, rags and more to apply and remove ink to make unique one off prints. This will be a workshop which could be continued during the summer season, revisiting and developing the series of prints over several sessions in your own time.

    Date: July 22-23 2021  10am – 4pm

    Multi-Colour Reduction Lino Printing with Stuart Brocklehurst

    Over the course of the workshop students will produce a multi colour reduction linocut in the same manner that I make mine. We will work from the students’ own studies to make a design that can be transferred to the lino and then printed using a simple registration system and hand burnishing techniques. The aim is to demonstrate how a complex looking print can be made at home without the need for an elaborate studio setup.

    Cyanotype with a Twist with Facilitator Nigel Morris

    Starting off our summer we have a Cyanotype workshop.

    Nigel will take you through the process of mixing the solution and coating papers and fabric, exposing these using sunshine (weather permitting) the exposure unit and UV torches, then moving onto double exposures and changing colour. We will look at making prints using objects (not TOO big) and drawn negatives. Experimentation is Key in this workshop and with some surprising results.

    Wood Lithography/Mokulito with Kate Desforges

    Plywood lithography takes the basic principles of lithography and applies them to a prepared plywood surface.

    Kate will guide you through this fascinating technique with a hands-on, experimental approach, providing examples, instruction and advice throughout. The aim of the course is to gain a good understanding of the process and to create a small run of prints from your own plywood block, and to give you the confidence to carry on using the technique in your own practice.
