Plein Air Printmaking – Cornwall

This Plein Air experience of mobile printmaking takes us out into the wilds of Cornwall. With the use of the mobile workshop facilities we will be working directly in the landscape. We can prepare, make and proof images without leaving our chosen location.

Three presses will be available thus enabling us to experiment with a number of Printmaking processes, such as engraving & drypoint, etching, woodblock and monoprinting techniques. Tuition is made available on an individual basis to further encourage your preferred approach. You can work at your own pace.

Suitable for beginners and specialists alike...

Materials will be available to purchase as used (average materials likely to cost around £8 per day), or please feel free to bring your own. It would be useful if you would bring your preferred arts materials as well as a range of pencils eg: H + B + 2B + 6B + EE pencils & an A3 sketchpad. This is not an essential requirement. (Please do not hesitate to contact Oliver for advice on materials.)

After camping in some atrocious weather in Porthleven last summer, the 2008 Plein Air Printmaking holiday will avoid the use of tents and head instead to Killigarth House in Devoran. Click below for more details, and do email if you are interested in trying your hand at printmaking this summer...
