On this workshop, you will make your own printing blocks, to add narrative and colour to your sketchbooks! You will make stamps and print blocks based upon a mood-board of ideas. You will print onto various papers. You will end the course with ideas for building exciting multi-layered drawings and sketchbooks.
What you will learn on this course:
- How to make a moodboard
- Turning ideas into marks
- Simplifying motifs
- Pattern making
- Shape based drawing skills
- Working on a theme
- Layering techniques
- Finding your creative flow
- Adding pattern and joy to your sketchbook
I've planned the content to give you a full weekend of creativity or you can spread it over a few evenings.
Materials you will need for the class:
- magazines or photos
- pencils or pens to draw with
- plain and coloured papers/book papers/repurposed papers
- lino-cutting tool (or scalpel but the tool is easier to use)
- ink pads (I use Tim Holtz distress inks)
- 6-8 erasers
- craft foam
- card (like mountboard or similar)
