Tutor  Peter Clayton

A great chance to work with LPW artist Peter Clayton over two morning taster sessions, to find visual potential and inspiration in over-looked, passed-by and taken-for-granted aspects of the environment.

Using monoprinting techniques you will collect material from surfaces around the Print Studio to make your own work and contribute to a group collage which will then be made into small books for each participant.

This is a unique opportunity to develop your printmaking skills, whilst getting a glimpse of another artists way of working. 

Course Structure

Day One

Discussion of inspiration and ideas, followed by a demonstration of monoprinting before printing and experimenting. 

Day Two

Reflecting on the prints produced on day one, continue to develop your ideas and produce a selection of unique prints. As a group, select, cut up and assemble the prints produced on day one.

Follow-Up

The tutor will then create a small artists' book for each participant using the collage produced on day two.
