This is a five-day course for people who have an interest in furthering their screen print knowledge. You will have access to our fully equipped screen print facilities with specialist technical tuition and support.

Join this one day introduction to Risograph collage techniques, where you’ll learn to use a Risograph printer, use digital textures with Mono-print techniques, and explore the art of digital collage in Adobe Photoshop.

We’ll start in the traditional media realm, using ‘found’ ink sheets from the Riso printer to make marks and textures using Mono-print techniques. Then we’ll move on to digitising your images, and gather inspiration for texture and depth in our campus gardens.

We’ll then look at technical skills in Photoshop using Masks, Layers, and Blend Modes and will create collages either with a layers technique or a split channel process, to then create plates for Risograph printing.
At the end of the course you’ll take home:
• 20 Duotone split Risograph prints of your work
• 1 digital print of your original collage for comparison

Suitable for all adults with no prior experience required.

Spend 3 days with us in one of the best printmaking facilities in the UK looking at intaglio colour techniques. Following an introduction to the printmaking process, you will prep and etch a test plate and then explore different etching and drypoint processes working with multiple plates.

Suitable for anyone creative who’d like to explore printmaking, all materials are included using professional-standard printmaking supplies. You’ll take your work home with you at the end of the course.

An advanced development course suitable for printmakers or artists with some printmaking experience, you’ll have the opportunity to develop ‘next level’ techniques to work on a large scale.

Over 3 days, we’ll be producing A1 multi-layered prints using photographic or hand drawn imagery (or a combination of both) to result in 2 or 3-colour editions.

You will be expected to come with creative ideas and materials that you would like to develop during this course. The 3 days will be a combination of taught workshops for skills development, and time to experiment and develop individual ideas supported by our printmaking team. All materials are included in the course fee, using professional-standard printmaking supplies.

This 2-day course is based in one of the best printmaking facilities in the UK on our beautiful campus in Falmouth. Over two days, you’ll get hands-on in a series of workshops on various techniques allowing you to explore your creative ideas as you learn to prepare, edit and print a varied edition of colourful prints.

Mokulito technique relies on drawing an image onto a plywood plate, meaning that work changes over the course of a print run. You will learn to use a range of drawing materials and techniques to vary your results, and experiment with mark making.

At the end of the course you’ll take all your work home with you.

This course is suitable for all creative adults who’d like to explore printmaking, whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some printmaking experience.

Learn to use photosensitive polymer for printmaking on this 2 day specialist course.

Photo polymer is a light sensitive material that, once exposed to UV, can be developed in tap water therefore needing no harmful chemicals for processing. It is used widely by fine artists, graphic designers and photographers to make intaglio and relief prints on paper.

Using hand drawn images and/or photographs, you will learn to expose, develop and print photopolymer plates and will print a small edition of your artwork onto paper. You’ll leave with the understanding and practical experience of preparing your artwork and processing, inking, and printing plates.
At the end of the course you’ll take all your work home with you.

This specialist course is suitable for all artists, creatives, photographers, and those with some previous printmaking experience who wish to expand their skills.
