TWO NEW PRINTMAKING WORKSHOPS WITH DIANNE LONGLEY
20 & 21 July
Drawings to Prints using Photopolymer Plates
Using drawings on double matte drafting film you will create two A5 photopolymer plates. A range of inking and printing variations will be demonstrated including intaglio with transparent relief colour, and a la poupee colour inking. You will also be shown how to create background colours on Japanese paper using coloured pencils or watercolours. These background drawings will be scanned and printed onto Japanese paper to be printed chine collé with your photopolymer plate. This allows for printing an edition of chine collé prints with your background colours printed onto Japanese paper using an inkjet printer.
Cost: $470 Limit 6 participants
All materials & lunch included.
BOOK
27 & 28 July
More Photopolymer plates and Japanese Bookbinding
You will create an embossing plate which will be printed as an embossing, and a relief embossing. You will also create a two-plate print, with your colour plates printed in register. As well as creating prints you will also make an A4 landscape Japanese bound book. The binding technique makes beautiful artist books if you want to print images and text on your pages, or with this book, you can tip in your recent workshop prints and add notes to annotate the images. We will work with A5 plates, 21 x 15 cm. Bring drawings and visual resources to the workshops. You will draw the images onto double matte drafting film, using a range of media, and we will expose the drawings onto Printight KM73 photopolymer plates. Once we have the plates we will experiment with printing variations. And Japanese bookbinding is a wonderfully simple technique that can be used to make notebooks, journals, and artist books.

BOOK
Two wonderful new workshops that complement each other beautifully.
During the workshops, work with A5 plates, 21 x 15 cm. You will draw the images onto double matte drafting film, using a range of media, and expose the drawings onto Printight KM73 photopolymer plates.
Once we have the plates we will experiment with several printing variations.
In the second workshop, you discover that Japanese bookbinding is a wonderfully simple technique that can be used to make notebooks, journals, and artist books.
The emphasis of both workshops is on understanding the variables involved.
There is an obvious benefit to doing both workshops.
