Saturday and Sunday Nov 19th and 20th

Horsley, Northumberland

Description

Would you like to create a very special portrait without having to draw or paint? Would you like it to have a “Pop Art” look or contemporary style? Bring along your own images of family, friends or even pets and transform them into works of art using the medium of photo-etching. On this course you will be able to transfer your image to the surface of a metal plate then print it in colour. You can get even more creative by making a second plate with pattern or painterly marks that prints under the first. Print in contrasting colours and you will be knocked out by the results! Note that images need to be prepared as acetates in advance of the course. Preparation notes will be sent out in good time.
