Summer is upon us, (yes really!). We have just announced the latest courses coming up at Hot Bed Press.
Starting on 6th July with Photo-screen and The Rudiments of Letterpress we have a full programme of delights.
We are really pleased to welcome Nick Rhodes as one of our tutors. Nick is well known in the gig poster printing world and has a wealth of experience and a great portfolio of prints to inspire anyone interested in poster printing.
We have brought back Expressive Printmaking over 4 evenings, Gum Arabic Printing and Waterless Lithography, and for the first time Large Scale Steeel Etching to name but a few.
We are really pleased to also bring back the monthly talks and demonstrations; starting with Photo-carborundum with Martin Kochany our illustrious Technician demonstrating this marriage of two print methods into a fascinating new hybrid print technique. The talk takes place on Wednesday 24th July. Pay on the door; (£5 to memebrs / £10 to non-members) – no booking necessary. next up, Photo-etching vs Solar plate with Sean Rorke on Wednesday 21st August. and then Pip Seymour will be demonstrating the vibrancy and versatility of his specially formulated high pigment inks – on Wednesday 25th September.
There are 14 courses scheduled plus 3 talks/demonstrations and we think we have something for everyone.
