Learn to etch and carve print artworks.

This is a skills-based art workshop exploring how to create prints. We’ll start with some simple printmaking exercises to warm up, including printing usual natural and man-made materials. We’ll learn some sketching and composition skills before moving onto creating an etching and experimenting with the printing process.

This workshop is designed for young artists aged 7 - 11. We have two teaching artists in every workshop and cap participants at 15 students, meaning there is plenty of one-on-one support.

To note:

Parents/guardians will be asked to sign children in upon arrival and provide a contact number for the day. Children must be picked up from the workshop by a parent/guardian.
Art making is messy! Please wear clothes that are not precious.
Snacks are welcomed.

Images are created by our teaching artist, Holly, and are for illustrative purposes only. We emphasise creativity alongside skill-building, so your child's artwork will look uniquely theirs.
