Ros will also be talking about her residency workshop programme:
Do you enjoy drawing?
Would you like to learn how to take your drawings into print?
We are offering subsidised workshops with well known printmakers
We want to provide an encouraging and supportive environment for anyone interested in drawing – to sample the extraordinary benefits of moving that initial drawing activity into print.
In particular we are providing starting points with very direct printing processes and concentrate on the wide range of mark making made possible through printmaking techniques. These workshops are suitable for those with no previous knowledge of printmaking or anyone who needs a refresher course or a re-vitaliZed approach to drawing for print.
Ros Ford is the first of our three artists in residence to offer workshops to support the project.
Please note: Cost of workshops are highly subsidised and places allocated on first come first served basis. For full details see Current Workshop Programme
