Cyanotype with Monotype - Printmaking at Home
Cyanotype is a fast and responsive form of printmaking; crossing over in to photography. You will be combining the atmospheric black and white of monotype with the gorgeous blues of cyanotype to create three colour prints.
For this course you will harness the power of the sun to create cyanotype prints; making negatives with drawings, photography and found materials. You will then print your monotypes on top to bring an additional element of depth and dark tones.
Taking some time outside to gather inspiration and materials to make your prints is an essential part of this course, making the most of wherever you live and enjoying a bit of sunshine. But don't worry if the sun isn't shining, you'll have the flexibility to wait for a sunny day or make your cyanotypes on your windowsill instead.
During this course you will work at your own pace, fitting your printing time around your day to day life. You will work through the processes demonstrated to you in the tutorial videos, whether you are a a complete beginner or experiences printmaker you will be able to adapt your prints to suit your style and level of experience.
Scarlett will show you how to set up a printing space in your home and work to professional standards, whether you're working in your home studio or on your kitchen table.
Having been teaching printmaking for 10+ years, Scarlett Rebecca is an encyclopaedia of knowledge when it comes to transferring pigment to paper! And now she is inviting you to come explore printmaking techniques with her, all from the comfort of your own home.

Kitchen Lithography - Printmaking at Home
Kitchen lithography is a non-toxic variation of traditional stone lithography, utilitsing materials you can find in your kitchen. We will draw with chocolate and crayons and etch our drawing to the plate with cola.
The lithographic process translates the drawn mark incredibly faithfully and allows for a huge amount of subtlety in the mark making, so if you like drawing then this is the course for you.
You can get immediate results which is perfect if you like to create spontaneous marks and quick-fire sketches. The aluminium foil is a brilliant drawing surface because it’s cheap. This means you can feel uninhibited when drawing on it because if it goes wrong you can just tear it off and start again.
During this course you will work at your own pace, fitting your printing time around your day to day life. You will work through the processes demonstrated to you in the tutorial videos, whether you are a a complete beginner or experiences printmaker you will be able to adapt your prints to suit your style and level of experience.

Mokulito - Printmaking at Home
Mokulito is a wonderful coming together of the relief and planographic printmaking families. It is the perfect process if you love both drawing and carving, and you don’t want to choose between the two. You can have the best of both worlds combined in to one!
Mokulito was developed in the 1970s as a non-toxic variation of lithography, combining the qualities of woodcut with the delicate and spontaneous mark making of lithography.
You will draw on to your prepared plywood surface using greasy drawing materials to produce tonal images. You can also employ woodcut carving techniques to bring crisp areas of light into your prints and further develop the image. The beautiful grain of the wood remains ever present to give a mid-tone to your prints.
During this course you will work at your own pace, fitting your printing time around your day to day life. You will work through the processes demonstrated to you in the tutorial videos, whether you are a a complete beginner or experiences printmaker you will be able to adapt your prints to suit your style and level of experience.

Card Collagraph - Printmaking at Home
Card Collagraph is perfect for you if you enjoy the bold marks and crisp lines of relief prints but you want to add some delicacy and tonality to your images.
Card collagraph is a wonderfully hands-on haptic process which connects you to the surface you’re working on. We carve away our boards, scratch, peel and indent the surface to create a sculptural matrix. From an unassuming card matrix bold and impactful prints can be produced with tonal ranges and delicate line work.
For this course we will use mountboard as our matrix and we will exploit the layered nature of board to create tonal variation in our prints. Card collagraph does not require specialist tools, you only need a sharp blade and a vision!
During this course you will work at your own pace, fitting your printing time around your day to day life. You will work through the processes demonstrated to you in the tutorial videos, whether you are a a complete beginner or experiences printmaker you will be able to adapt your prints to suit your style and level of experience.
