In this two day workshop you will learn how to make nostalgic playful handmade prints using recycled Tetra Pak, an etching press and collected paper ephemera. Mark making with a collection of tools you will create print plates using the drypoint method and learn inking techniques along with the Chine Collé process to add colour, narrative and interest to your printwork. Through this work we will explore ideas of home, family and feelings of nostalgia and belonging to create a series of personal intaglio prints.

Lisa Stubbs is a printmaker and teacher with a Studio in Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire. Lisa's playful and experimental work uses many low tech printing techniques inspired by narrative illustration and vintage graphics.

Beginners are very welcome along with more experienced printmakers wanting to further their practice. All materials are provided and students are encouraged to bring along old photographs, maps, envelopes, letters, tickets and postcards to be used in their work.
