What You’ll Learn
- Printmaking is often seen as something you need special tools or studios to be able to achieve - but you can try lots of techniques at home! It’s an added bonus that the methodical elements of the processes involved can be calming and satisfying to the soul too..
- Drypoint is a method of printmaking which has a grounding in drawing - except you draw with a pointy tool instead of a pencil. Its delicate, intentional nature means it is well-suited to creating smaller artworks…and this is where the miniatures come in!.
- Miniature art is fascinating! It invites us to look closer and re-evaluate how we see the world. So, let’s give some focus to the little things we love, or take for granted, and give them a miniature spotlight..
- In this class we combine the joys of miniature art with the satisfactions of drypoint printmaking, to create our own mindful design, drypoint plate and print. Whether you are a complete beginner to printmaking, or are simply exploring a fresh direction for your art, I hope you will find a little pocket of creative calm in this class..
- Please do post any questions you may have in the Discussions thread, or come find me on Instagram @gemmathepen or at gemmathepen.com - I'm happy to help however I can!.
- My name is Gemma - I am an artist-maker who believes in trying all of the arty-crafty things I can! Creating from the core of what makes you happy, whether that's painting, sculpting, collaging...or all of these things and so many more!...is key to creative wellbeing. Don't limit yourself by judging your outcomes - prioritise how the process makes you feel and see everything you create as a stepping stone, leading you to the next and helping you to find your way. .
- I am so happy to be your Drypoint Guide in this class - I hope you enjoy your time here and find a new technique to add to your wheelhouse and go forward with. Keep Making To Make Happy!.
