Get Creative At Avon Mill
Oliver West has been offering Plein Air Printmaking workshops since 1995 in various locations across the UK and now at Avon Mill!
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.
Taster mono-printing sessions take as little as 30 minutes to make your own print, So you can even quickly pop by if you are on the fly!
For those with more time, return home with the experience of different printmaking 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!
