Course aim

This workshop will explore the hybrid print. By utilising traditional and experimental methods of printing, participants will incorporate linoleum block printing and polyester plate or “pronto plate” lithography to create multilayered prints that allow for the best of each technique to be celebrated. The results are dynamic. Participants are encouraged to embrace technical exploration and experimentation. The workshop will introduce each technique as a single process, then investigate ways to combine the methods to discover which print qualities are emboldened when combined in a single image. We will cover transfer techniques, registration methods, and emphasis on layering colour to produce brilliant results. Alternating between structure and improvisation, participants will create works that reflect a synthesis of process, layering, composition and ideas.
