Recent reviews of Photopolymer Etching Workshop
- 5/5 from David, attended Sep 2026: What a fantastic course! John was excellent, very friendly and a great teacher who had me exposing my artwork on to plates and printing it without a hitch, and I've never done this before. I now have the confidence to start working in photopolymer right away. It's a beautiful studio and John with his assistant Clem have a great way of leading you through the process from transparency to print in just three or four hours. I came away with plates and prints of my own work, and a grounding in photopolymer that now sets me up for the future. I recommend this course, if you are a polymer and printmaking beginner like me, or if you are already printmaking as some of the attendees were, you won't regret taking it. In fact I am still buzzing from it three days later and I cannot believe that I learned so much in such a short space of time. A fantastic morning. Excellent course.
