Sue Brown is an artist who uses printmaking to tell stories.

She is inspired by process as much as nature. Her work springs from the pages of her sketchbooks and she develops carefully researched themes using printmaking processes.

Sue uses her work to explore the relationships we have with our garden visitors; she is fascinated by all things ornithological and entomological. From moths to characterful corvids, Sue describes them with collagraph and paper lithography. Her work is full of expression and often humour.

Printmaking has been Sue’s working process forever. Passionate about promoting the understanding of the artist print and the contemporary use of traditional craft techniques, Sue leads workshops and demonstrations for groups nationally in a wide variety of collagraph and mixed media sketch book processes.

‘I am first and foremost a printmaker and I want everyone to understand that I make original prints and not reproductions.’

The Workshop

Enjoy 2 days of creativity learning paper lithography, mixed media techniques and simple junk journal making.

Spend the first day creating personal printed pages using the flexible printmaking technique of paper lithography. This method uses black and white photocopies as a printing matrix and oil-based ink. Use your own photographic or drawn images and make pages to add to the book you will make the next day. You will be given guidance before the workshop as to what copies will work and there will be plenty provided.

On day 2 you will make a junk journal. As part of the workshop, you will be provided with a small book and components to make your junk journal.

This is the workshop to bring your stash of papers, collages and prints made at other workshops to create a full and exciting book.
