monoprinting and simple collagraph, and printing onto fabric as well as paper. This is suitable for teachers of any age
group. Light refreshments/ information handouts included.
Printmaking Playtime

For those with some experience of printmaking, come and refresh your memory. Return to school with new ideas
and renewed confidence to do printmaking with your students in the classroom. We'll focus on using a press, so
this is ideal for those with access to one, or those planning to bring Double Elephant Outreach into school.
You'll be able to choose from Monoprinting, Drypoint & Collagraph. Our tutor will demonstrate each method and
you'll have the chance to practise with your choice. Light refreshments/ information handouts included.
