PRINTMAKING OUTSIDE THE BOX Summer School 12th-14th August 2025
This workshop is now fully booked. If you would like to join the waiting list for cancellations please email: theyardprintstudio@gmail.com
SUMMER SCHOOL at The Yard Print Studio
TUESDAY 12TH - THURSDAY 14TH AUGUST
10.30am - 4.30pm
Three days of experimental low tech printmaking to encourage playful practice and get you thinking outside the box when it comes to print; with Melanie Clarke and Nichola Goff.
Working with two experienced printmakers who both have a love of contemporary practice and pushing the parameters of printmaking; this course explores repurposing packaging and found surfaces, manipulating, collaging, reducing and expanding prints to discover new possibilities.
Over the three days participants will learn about monoprinting, drypoint, collagraph and relief print, looking at the surrounding built and natural environment for inspiration, producing prints using different printing presses, combining techniques, taking apart and simplifying ideas as well as the work itself to find pattern and new forms.
Participants will leave with a series of newly created work, ideas and skills.
All materials included.
Melanie Clarke explores the endless possibilities of utilising printmaking techniques including collagraph, stone lithography and relief printing methods. “I enjoy the physicality of the process both in the building of a matrix and the coaxing of ink transfer to paper and then further investigations into the properties of the paper itself by folding, burning, piercing and stitching allowing the form to appear over time.”
