This two day course will explore the diverse ways artists use this direct process, looking at the practicalities of reduction printing. This course is very practical, and fun. You will be using Japanese ply to cut from and explore the benefits of using different types of paper for printing. Please bring a sketch or a simple digital printout to work with. The image size will be up to a maximum of A3. All other materials will be supplied.
