Wed 17th May 10am - 12pm (UK time)
This LivePlus™ online printing workshop is ideal for beginners and improvers. This workshop is all about learning a fun and versatile process – no experience needed. You needn't have the materials ready whilst watching this online demonstration – it is a time to watch, ask and learn.
Workshop details
A fun low-tech version of drypoint etching that you can do at home without a press. Working on a small scale, with the minimum amount of specialist materials, Karen will show you how to produce a selection of plates and prints using a dessert spoon and a bit of elbow grease!
You’ll create three different sorts of plates – one on plastic (family-size dessert containers are great for this!) and two on laminated card (the inside of juice cartons work well)….one of these will be predominantly linework, the other will explore tone and texture. You can make plates to your own designs, or from the templates that Karen will provide.
You’ll be taught different inking methods from simple black & white, progressing into colour using various techniques. Then the exciting bit – getting your prints on paper – a metal spoon, a bit of muscle power (you’re going to be the printing press!) and tips on how to achieve a sharp image.
Specific skills you will learn at the workshop

Additional Information
All Ardington ONLINE classes and talks are accompanied by their own online blackboard. Helpful and easy to use, they enable students and tutors to share resources, ideas and photos with each other – just as you would in a classroom environment.
Karen will offer personalised critique / feedback via the blackboard for any work uploaded by students within thirty days of the class ending. You will be sent the link to access your blackboard in the week before your class begins and will have access for at least sixty days after the class ends.
After the live session has finished on Zoom, we will share the link to view the recording on the blackboard. You can watch the recording as many times as you like for sixty days.
We suggest that you do not buy any specialist materials more than one week in advance as, occasionally, a class may be cancelled due to low enrolment.
