Location: Classroom
We will start with a walk in the Garden to collect leaves and fallen plant material. Once back in the classroom we’ll use these to use to print your own individual covers, pages and inserts for your sketchbooks. There will be demonstrations of printmaking technique and uses of materials. You will work with monoprinting to create unique prints to build within the construct of your books, and create layered prints using and combining plant materials, mark making, textured materials and masking techniques. On day two we will select which prints to use for your books: a simple sewn sketchbook with printed covers and inserts, and a printed concertina Artist’s Book, including printed inserts. A step-by-step demonstration will be given 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.
