Intaglio Printing: Working and Re-working a Plate – Talk / Demo

£10

Tuesday 19th April 2016
10.30 – 11.30

Join WYPW member and studio holder Andrew Hambleton for a demonstration of how he creates his beautiful, atmospheric etchings and drypoints on re-used copper plates.

Andrew Hambleton has recently completed an artist residency at Hot Bed Press printmaking studio in Salford, where he has been working on a series of small copper etchings and drypoints referencing the urban landscape. The plates are re-worked again and again, adding layers of marks with techniques such as aquatint, and scraping and burnishing back to create highlights.

These 1 hour morning sessions will focus on technique, practise and making, and will comprise of practical demonstrations and talks led by practising artists and printmakers. The sessions are intended to encourage, inspire, and generate ideas and conversation about printmaking, so don’t be afraid to ask questions! Both members and non-members are welcome to attend. If you are not a member, or indeed a printmaker, they can act as taster sessions to show you just what printmaking is all about. If you are a member, the sessions can offer valuable hints and tips to help further your printmaking practise, or introduce you to a new technique.
