Whether you are a complete beginner or returning to etching, you will come out of this five evening course with great skills and unique prints.
Away from the Centre XCI
Away From The Centre is an ongoing series of Mono prints. On the surface they appear bright colourful and slick, although Rob sees them as a metaphor how modern politics pulls us away from the centre ground.

Artist talk: Helen Breach
In this video presentation, Helen talks about the different ways in which she explores the world around her through drawing, painting and printmaking, including looking at dancers in rehearsal, the natural environment and portraiture.
Collecting the Looking
“I love drawing really quickly. I love drawing in really difficult situations. I love drawing in the dark. I like what happens when you can’t see everything or when it’s passed and you have to remember it rather than drawing what it actually looks like, so it’s about the experience of looking as much as what I’m looking at.”
We talk to Michelle Avison about building a resilient artistic practice over 30 years.
Incredibly dark and incredibly light
“When I’m sitting in a ballet rehearsal I don’t have access to a table or any printing things so I have to make the monoprints from sketches when I get home. There’s a lot of bodies, there’s a lot of faces, a lot of movement.”
