Join Jemma Gunning for a fun week of exploring various Intaglio printmaking processes. The course will cover hardground, soft ground, sugar lift, aquatint, open bite, and chine collé. You will be guided through each process with the chance to experiment and combine techniques to produce rich and exciting outcomes. The traditional Intaglio process involves various methods of etching an image into the surface of a metal plate, using resists and acid, and ink and printing. This course is great for those new to Intaglio as well as those looking to add to their repertoire or develop a strong set of skills in their current work. This will be a hands-on inky course where you’ll get to take a range of unique prints home with you!
