About this Event

This colourful and creative course presents a unique and exciting opportunity to visit a state of the art papermaking workshop in the centre of Glasgow and study with master papermaker Alison Newman and expert printmaker / artist Elspeth Lamb. On the first day of this weekend workshop, you will make a fusion of stencilled and pulp painted sheets with graffiti-like marks and textures to form the printing base for your inked relief print blocks, which will be developed through the second day.

During the course, participants will make stencilled, painterly images using coloured pulps which emulate paint when applied to newly formed base sheets. The paper is then pressed, allowed to dry overnight and printed using a small press to create a collection of vibrant, colourful images combining papermaking and relief printing which creates a strong visual tension between the paper layers and introduction of a new compotional printed element.

Participants should come to the workshop with images which can be easily translated and made into simple stencils. Also, you should bring a key drawing (A4 in size) to use for your relief print. Themes such as landscape, seascape, botanical images are a suggestion, however we can look at other themes you may wish to pursue. As we will be working to an A4 format the images should be kept relatively simple.

To summarise, on day 1 you will create your layered, collaged paper sheets. On day 2 you will cut an image from a lino block which will be printed over the top of your paper sheets, pulling your design together visually.

Taught by Elspeth Lamb in combination with Alison Newman @ PULP: Paper Arts Workshop. Both are experienced tutors and have visited and studied with masters in Japan.

Limited spaces available and suitable for all levels. Beginners are most welcome.
