printmaking tutorials
FacebookLive session for the Royal Voluntary Service's new Facebook page the Virtual Village Hall broadcast 2nd October 2020 at 11am.
Whoops! I might have underestimated how long the FacebookLive session for the Virtual Village Hall would last. I'd reckoned on half an hour but that quickly turned into just over an hour...well, they do say time flies when you're having fun. I just hope that everyone watching felt the same! Don't worry, I don't expect you to watch it all (I'm certainly not going to!) but there might be some bits you'd like to see so I've made a note of the printmaking techniques that the session covered and where you need to scroll to on the time bar to see it.
Each section started with a demonstration of a "text book" print and then showed how to tweak it a bit and use things you may already have or can pick up very cheaply so you can print at home.
Scroll to 1:30 for linocut and the tweak using a polystyrene takeaway box
Scroll to 32:19 for screen printing and the tweak using an embroidery hoop, net curtain and credit card
Scroll to 53:12 for Gelli monotypes and the tweak using cardboard and clingfilm
Happy printing!
