The course fee covers the basic materials such as inks, acids, solvents and proofing papers and an allocation of printing plates/ blocks.


Donations of lint free rags for cleaning and newspapers are always welcome.
Please bring sketches, photographs, images of previous projects or other visual resources as a starting point to the first session.

Demonstrations and personal application of different aspects of the media will be offered as you advance in knowledge and competence.
If your project develops and you undertake a process new to you, then the making of a test plate and time to experiment is recommended.

The course is about developing a personal project therefore independent work is very much up to the individual, however, some preparation tasks – making drawings, cutting stencils, planning images, reviewing proofs etc – are useful if you want to maximise your output in the studio.
