Print Club is an opportunity to build your printmaking skills as part of a small friendly curious group.

The first week will introduce you to all our amazing kit in the studio, develop a work plan to support your practice and get you started on your work.  Subsequent weeks are self-directed and guided by our experienced printmaker technicians who will share top tips for each technique and encourage you to explore and experiment.

Print Club is a lovely way to meet people in a supportive environment while developing your printmaking skills and grow in confidence working in the studio environment.

Reasonable quantities of basic materials will be included in the course price (tissue, proofing paper, single ink). Emulsion for screens, vinyl or metal plate will be charged at member rates if requested. Previous printmaking experience is required.

Structure

6 x two hour sessions. 6pm arrival and discussion of goals for that session, 7.40pm clear up of inks and materials for 8pm finish.

Week One: Health and Safety induction to Leicester Print Workshop, discussion of your chosen technique and aims or goals for the six weeks. Breaking into groups to explore your work supported by the Technician and introduction to your tools and equipment

Week Two, Three and Four: Support and guidance from the Technician. You will be encouraged to take an interest in the whole groups work.

Week Five and Six: More self-directed weeks for building on what you have learnt and with another chance to review the development of your work over the weeks. We strongly recommend you use these sessions to critically evaluate your own and others work.
