‘Mellow Fruitfulness’ – One-Day Printmaking workshop with Adrienne Craddock
Autumn’s here! Images of fruit, veg and all things delicious. Printmaker Adrienne will share her love of Monoprinting in this workshop using clear acrylic sheets inked up with rollers or painting the ink directly onto the plates. You can experiment with layering luscious colours and the plates will be printed onto paper through the Chapel’s vintage etching press.
Adrienne Says – ‘ I find monoprinting a seductive process, that captures the energy of brushstrokes and mark making. It enables you to make ‘paintings’ reasonably swiftly, and mixing the coloured viscose inks on the plate is a satisfyingly child like indulgence. Who hasn’t taken pleasure in applying paint to a surface – as we did as school children when we folded paper in half and made ‘symmetrical’ butterfly images – to see what image will appear.’
