Once printmaking got under my skin, I couldn't sleep soundly until I'd bought my own little press!
I first became interested in printmaking, when my husband bought me a print by Trevor Price. I loved it and still do, and was determined to find out how it was made. printmaking has different qualities from drawing and painting. My picture is called 'Sofa Couple II' and is a dry point etching, rolled with and hand tinted with colour.
To learn about printmaking processes, I enrolled on a course with 'Double Elephant'. I became mesmerised by the range of processes and the magical results that can be achieved. Double Elephant is a printing studio at the Phoenix Centre in Exeter, and I thoroughly recommend their courses to anyone who would like to take their printmaking skills further: www.doubleelephant.org.uk/
Little Pilton Printing Press is a kitchen table-top business, which aims to introduce beginners to some basic techniques in printmaking, to provide people in the Barnstaple area with access to an etching press and to make handmade prints and cards to order.
My press is heavy, but with an extra pair of hands, is portable, so I can run worksops in your space or from my kitchen table.
Printmaking is as messy as messy can be, so workshops come with a 'health-warning' to the houseproud!
If you or your friends are interested in learning some basic skills in monoprinting, collage prints/collographs, linocutting or drypoint etching, please contact me, and we'll put together a workshop or two!
I teach art to primary children in two North devon Schools, so have a current DBS certificate (Previously CRB ) I am happy to provide workshops for children with an accompanying adult.
