Description
Join artist and printmaker Brian Britton on this day workshop to print a set of Valentine inspired greetings cards. In this workshop Brian will teach you the fundamentals of printmaking. These will be broken down and taught with multiple demonstrations and one-to-one guidance. Over the course of the day, Brian will show you the process of designing, cutting, and the printing of your own Valentine’s card. You will have detailed advice and support throughout all the processes to ensure that you can successfully use the specialist cutting tools for cutting your design. You will print your hand carved block on the printing press, followed by selecting your best designs and mounting them on a background of your own choosing and then finally onto a matching card.

Unfortunately, we do not have our own designated car park, however there are plenty around Cirencester. The nearest short stay car park is The Brewery Car Park which is approximately 2 minutes away and is a council run pay and display. This car park has several disabled parking spaces too. Sheep Street Car Park is a longer stay car park 3 minutes away, it is a cashless car park facilitated by Pay by Phone. Full details of all car parks and pricing can be found on Cotswold District Council Website.
We pride ourselves on smaller class sizes, so you get plenty of help from the tutors. Maximum 8-10 students per class.
