I am a printmaker, specialising in Collagraph, a textural form of printmaking. It is essentially a print made from a collage. Richly textured and atmospheric prints can be achieved with this method. I have been teaching Collagraph for almost 10 years. I teach from my home studio in Staplehurst, Kent (only 50mins by train from London Bridge) and have a maximum of 4 students at a time. All materials are provided. My studio is only one mile from the station and I am able to pick you up from the station if necessary. Students are constantly surprised at the prints they manage to achieve in a day (10-4pm). You will produce up to 10 prints in a day's workshop.
