Enjoy your Creativity outdoors

With the use of the mobile workshop facilities, we will be working directly in the grounds of Avon Mill, preparing, making and proofing images without leaving your chosen location.

Tuition is made available on an individual basis to further encourage your preferred approach.The beauty of this experience allows everyone to work at their own pace and experience.It doesn't matter if you've not really done anything arty before; print is such a great process to start getting creative with.

Mono-prints usually take anything from 15 mins to 45 mins to make. Mono prints can be beautiful as leaf prints or can become elaborate and multi-layered with a bit more time spent. So it can make for a fun inter-generational activity. Suitable for 4 years and up.These workshops make for fabulous Birthday Party events , whatever your age!

Or - Make your own artist quality limited edition prints.

For those with more time, return home with the experience of different printmaking "Intaglio" processes, multiple proofs showing the process, a final finished proof and sometimes a part edition ready for sale in their next show.Get in touch to find out when the next workshop will be, or feel free to suggest dates, and Oliver will try to accommodate you if he can!
