Adult Printmaking Course

I completed a three week printmaking course in Wendens Ambo last night. There were some beautiful linocuts produced, as you can see from these photos. We experimented with single and two colour printing, using lots of markmaking to create texture and form.
If you are interested in booking a linocutting course, you can email me at info@artbambino.co.uk

Half Term Printmaking

We had a great time printmaking yesterday. We learned how to make mono-prints from paintings, and then created a simple block print. Flowers and fish were the big themes of the day! The older ones made lovely mono-prints from life in the afternoon.

Matisse Collage

Here are some photographs from the Matisse workshop today. We learned about Henri Matisse, and how he loved to create pictures using beautifully coloured paper and a huge pair of scissors. Then we created our own collage pictures, carefully selecting colours and shapes to make a narrative composition.
