Printing from Cardboard: Low-tech Printmaking

On this course you will find out how to use the simplest materials to make great prints from a cardboard cereal packet, cutting, sticking and drawing into the surface to create textures, lines and effects which can then be printed right away. You will be able to rework the surface of the card plate using tape and other techniques to develop your image and create instant results. A fab way to learn about printmaking, to understand the difference between different ways of printing and to recycle your old cereal boxes! You will print your 'collagraphs' using both relief and intaglio…

It is great if you have drawings or ideas to work from, but don't worry if you don't- this technique is a lot of fun and you will quickly learn how to make marks with the different techniques, and can use textures and patterns without any drawing experience…
