Course Description

This two-day workshop is aimed at students, beginners, hobbyists and 
printmakers wanting to expand their practice.
This hands-on short course introduces the beautiful process of photopolymer 
gravure, where photography meets traditional printmaking. Across two 
sessions, participants will learn how to transform autographic, digital or 
photographic images into richly tonal, hand-pulled prints using light-sensitive 
polymer plates and an etching press. From preparing images and making 
plates, to inking, wiping, and printing, this course provides all the skills needed 
to fully understand and explore gravure printing.

This will be a physical course, delivered in person at W Block on Frenchay Campus, University of the West of England. 

The course is limited to a maximum of 6 participants, please sign up early to secure your place.
