Wednesdays at 6 pm, in Ivor Crewe Seminar Room
Come along and relax with us while creating your own printed artworks!
Over six weeks our tutor Tom Armstrong will guide you through the process of printmaking – including working from a printing press, using type letters, and how to make an impact with colour.
We’re taking inspiration from the revolutionary printmaker William Blake (1757 – 1827) who invented his own printing process, so join us exploring all the possibilities print-making offers!
You can come along for all six classes, or just drop by for one.
