Printmaking for Beginners with Margaret Taylor
Learn the basics of printmaking in a small group with an experienced printmaker. Margaret will demonstrate a new technique weekly that you can try with her support. Those with experience can extend their practice and develop their expertise with her guidance. Week 4 involves a shorter timeframe, 1 hour each but 1-to-1 with Margaret rather than the whole class together. Term1 participants found that this reinforces earlier lessons. You also learn how to: manage dirty and clean spaces and ink properly and use the printing press. Cost: $140 non-members plus $10 materials
Enroll at www.kacc.org.nz... or email Margaret at info@kacc.org.nz for more information. Membership for the year costs $55 and gives access to untutored groups and cheaper class fees.
