About the Course

Printmaking using a variety of techniques to create really impressive results inspired by the sights and sounds of Barga.

Students will make a variety of lino prints. Firstly, mastering the cutting tools, making a simple black and white design, adding colour with chine colle technique. Taking inspiration from photos/drawings/sketches of Barga, the students will make a two or three colour reduction lino print, building a portfolio of various colour combinations and papers. There will be opportunities during the week to make a jigsaw lino print or a tessellated repeat pattern piece and experimenting with the intaglio process of tetra pack and dry point. This workshop is suitable for beginners and more experienced artists. Those with previous experience can progress to the more advanced methods at their own pace. This is a fun course, successfully run at Quattro Archi for the last three years. The course usually culminates with 'an opening' where the students' work is displayed in the QA gallery.
