| Tutor: Martyn Grimmer |
| 3 day printmaking course |

| Develop your hand and digital drawings and photographs into polymer photogravure etchings. Includes image preparation, plate making, inking and intaglio printing. This is an acid free intaglio printmaking method with many creative possibilities. |

| Course Outline: |
Starting with drawing and photography from your own portfolio or sketchbook you will develop your ideas onto photo-polymer plates through to inking and printing the etching in the studio. This process produces etchings for both photography and drawing with deep tonal qualities.
