Full Course: Introduction to Botanical Printmaking (All 3 Sessions)

£190.00
sold out

This ticket gives you a 15% discount for signing up for all three parts of the botanical printmaking course.

Part I

In this session you will be introduced to methods for extracting colour from plant-based materials including food waste as an approach to sustainable making practices. You will learn how to identify suitable plant matter for colour making and the difference between colour fast and fugitive colour. You will be introduced to permaculture principles and how these should impact foraging and growing practices for dye plants. You will learn how to develop plant-based ink for water-based drawing practices and dyeing.

At the end of the session you will see a demonstration of the process of moving this onwards towards screen printing and relief ink making as a taster of workshop II and III.

Part II

In this session we will work with plant-based matter to develop inks for screen-printing. Learning how to adapt colour into a plant-based screen-printing medium. You will have a chance to undertake your own botanical screen-printing during the session using botanical materials to create ‘masks’ for your screen.

Part III

In this workshop we will look at how you develop lake pigments from botanicals in order to be able to make oil-based printmaking inks. We will work on grinding our own botanical pigments and creating the oil-based medium. You will also get to experiment with oil-based relief printmaking using botanical materials and the inks you have created.
