Craft Jam April 2012 - Printmaking with Lisa Purchase
Another fantastic evening of creative fun. Lisa Purchase, local printmaker in Exeter came to teach. 25 in number, we were kept busy all evening, forming print creations in all sorts of different ways. I had no idea there was so many different ways to acheive gorgeous prints. It is such a simple technique with such rich rewards! We did linoprints with discarded pizza wrap bases, collagraph printing which involved layering to form a picture for printing and using pieces of embossed wallpaper. The designs were amazing. For some, it was the first time ever doing printmaking and for others, the first time they had done it since Art college. Everyone, came away with some amazing stuff and with the enthusiasm to try more in the future. Pictures to follow
