Take a line for a walk exploring
multi-plate intaglio printmaking! Join artist, printmaker and 2014 Flourish
printmaking award winner Michelle Keegan for an exciting 3 day summer school
which will focus on exploring multi-plate printing using collagraph and
drypoint technique – no etching required!
Experiment with Drypoint to make marks on
aluminium plates – building up surfaces without the requirement of etching
chemicals. You will use traditional scrapers and drypoint needles along with
sanding and more innovative mark making approaches. Learn how to ink plates ‘a
la poupée’ – a mutli-colour inking technique, and explore using transparent
inks to achieve layering of colour and images. You can also experiment with the
arrangement of the plates to make different compositions.
Use collagraph to build up layers of tone
and line on a mount board surface, and work with a number of plates to explore
mark marking and shape with this highly versatile process. You will also learn
‘chine collé’ techniques and composition and registration tricks.
Your tutor
Michelle Keegan studied Fine Art at the Kent
Institute of Art and Design, graduating with first class honours. She
specialised in printmaking immediately, having been intrigued by the
possibilities of process, and exploring unknown ways of making marks. Michelle
continued her post graduate education at the Slade School of Fine Art, under
the guidance of master printmaker Stanley Jones. She has made prints and
exhibited widely for the past 20 years, and also runs a small print workshop
and lectures in Nottingham.
