UPSTAIRS AT THE CHAPEL – THURSDAY 20th MARCH – Drypoint printmaking workshop

‘Joys of Spring’ – One-Day Printmaking workshop with Adrienne Craddock

 Drypoint – is the process of scratching lines and marks into a surface with a sharp point which is then inked and printed with damp paper. In this workshop, Adrienne will show you how to create your image using a transparent acrylic plate, perfect for detailed line recording, which will then be printed with the Chapel’s vintage etching press. This workshop will explore making images of plants, foliage, flowers and things from the garden.

Adrienne Craddock – I was born and brought up in the beautiful Herefordshire Countryside, a feral child with the riverside to explore. Life’s journey took me to experience the drama of city life in Manchester, where I studied printmaking. Back on home turf, my eyes are reopened to the contrasts and uniqueness of this rural borderland. I now make prints that explore and celebrate my local landscape – awash with colour – to capture its evolving energy and forms.
