The course will centre around Drypoint printmaking – a beautiful ‘intaglio’ process closely associated with etching but with no need for acid! It has the potential of creating lovely contrasts within a piece of work and as Barga has glorious narrow roads and interesting corners everywhere, with light and shadow, it gives one loads of opportunities to highlight these in the work.

Printmaking using a variety of techniques to create really impressive results inspired by the sights and sounds of Barga.

The week will include 5 sessions of printmaking. There will also be an opportunity to exhibit your work in an intimate professional gallery environment at the end of the week if you would like to.
