Printmaking Workshops

Susan always takes her time to explain the process clearly. She encourages her students to be confident in their own creativity and is very enthusiastic about sharing her printmaking skills.  -  Janet Peck

I offer printmaking and mixed media workshops at venues in Leighton Buzzard, Dunstable,  Berkhamsted and Milton Keynes.
​​
 I teach a variety of techniques, and keep class sizes small, so you'll receive personal attention whether you are just starting out in printmaking or an experienced artist.

All materials are provided so  you can just turn up with your ideas and enthusiasm.  

Develop your skills and learn something new in Drypoint, Monoprinting or Collographs or combinations of these techniques.
​
I also offer printmaking parties for birthday parties or for those just wanting to have a fun creative time with friends.
​
​Workshop dates can be found on the Events page

Susan gave us clear instructions, both verbal and written; showed us a wide variety  of examples; there were plenty of materials to experiment with different textures and a good space to work in. We came away having learned to create interesting and sometimes  surprising prints . -

I have taken a variety of workshops with Susan including Solar Printing, Carborundum, Drypoint and  Collograph  and have loved them all.  -

Collograph using  collage & carborundum 
1 or 2 day workshop

​Collograph is a printmaking technique using a plate that is made from textured materials glued to a backing plate much like a collage. The resulting plate is then sealed ready for inking up and printing. In this workshop participants will use textured materials as well as acrylic gels and varnish to make their plates.
Participants will also learn how to ink and print a collograph including how to apply colour rubs .
