Course Overview

Course Overview
You will continue to experiment with layering, colour, and mixed media, combining screen printing with drawing, collage, and painting where appropriate. You may use your own imagery or develop ideas from studio inspiration.
If you have taken one of our introduction to printmaking courses and learnt press techniques such as monoprint, linocut or drypoint, you can continue to develop your skills using these methods.
The course encourages creative risk-taking, while supporting you to edit, refine, and develop your work into more intentional outcomes. You will build confidence in making decisions and working independently.
Please note: this course focuses on learning and developing skills rather than producing large quantities of finished work. Materials are provided but limited.
