Printmaking in Poetry and Comics: Printmaker’s Toolkit Session

Arti

Morning session
Tuesday 2nd October 2018
10.30 – 11.30

£10.00

Join artist Louise Crosby for our October Printmaker’s Toolkit Session, which focuses on her recent work using solar plate relief printmaking to illustrate her poems. The session coincides with National Poetry Day on 4th October. Louise’s work centres around illustrating poetry, and began by using small excerpts of poems to inspire prints. In a current project called UOIEA:AEIOU she is producing 5 poems each only containing a single vowel, each printed as a comic using a different printmaking technique. The first – Oslo Moon – uses Solar plates as relief prints. In this session Louise will talk about her practice, and give a brief demonstration of producing a Solar Relief plate – from preparing an image from a photograph to exposing and developing the Solar Plate. She will also touch upon preparing files for Riso printers.
