A dynamic printmaking party. Children will learn simple and effective printmaking techniques and, using their own designs or ours, will create imaginative printworks on paper. They begin with drawings, learning what will work best as a print. They will then be shown how to transfer their design onto their own etching ‘plate’ to create pictures, bookmarks or cards. Each child will learn how to ink up their ‘plate’ and use the etching press to print their artwork on quality printmaking paper.
