Join us for a one day calligraphy taster course to learn Arabic calligraphy. During the first part of the day you will learn flourishes and basic lettering, before moving onto an abstract design. You will also learn how to write your own name and some basic techniques in decorative calligraphy.
In the second part of the day you will make a screen print with an abstract design and will learn how to use layering and colour to make your own individual prints.
On this one day workshop you will explore the basics of etching metal printing plates such as zinc and aluminium using hard wax grounds and copper sulphate solution.
Etching is an intaglio printmaking process where etched lines or grooves are created on a metal surface which are then inked up and printed from using an etching press. Using copper sulphate to etch is a much safer and less toxic alternative to using traditional nitric acid to etch copper plates.
Explore the process of screen printing onto paper and develop your confidence as an independent screen printer. You will learn how to register and layer your designs, and print with multiple colours. You will gain an understanding of the photo stencil emulsion technique and will learn how to coat and expose screens using our UV exposure unit. Your tutor will also introduce you to relevant contextual artists and screen printing terminology.
