Join artist and designer Holly Scholfield at Felixstowe Library and design and make your own beautiful dry point etching using environmentally friendly materials! This is part of The Blank Page Project which offers high-quality creative workshops for 10-16 year olds during the school holidays.
Workshops take place from 9.45AM to 3.30PM and include lunch, drinks and snacks!
Spend a day exploring exciting printmaking processes. We will begin making fast and experimental mono-prints and then in contrast create beautiful drypoint etchings using environmentally friendly materials. This workshop will develop your drawing skills, help to understand composition and sharpen your eye! We will briefly look at the history of printmaking whilst exploring these traditional printing techniques, the tools, the inks, the press and the whole process from start to finish! Participants will go home with their own unique prints.
