Print to abstraction with collagraph plates
8th – 11th May 2023
I’m back at West Dean College in May. This time embracing abstraction, well actually working from a still life to kick off and then abstracting and choosing the essence of drawings that have been made to make intriguing collagraph prints.
It’s the first time I’ve taught this course at West Dean. If you are interested in having fun with collagraph plate making and learning more about working with abstract imagery, come and join us in May.
