Hot Bed Press proudly presents our latest courses for 2020. Our courses at the end of 2019 were so popular that extra courses overran until 2nd February. We have been busy planning for brand new courses with just the right mix of beginnersā classes to new approaches for printmakers wanting to expand their knowledge. Weāve listened to the requests for more screenprinting courses and have 6 different courses to choose from including Understanding Colour in Screen and Screenprint Level 2. Not interested in Screenprinting this time around; thereās more with Monoprint, Drypoint, Woodcut, Copper Sulphate Etching, Experiments in Waterless Lithography, Creative Collagraphs, The Folded Book and Portfolio Box Making Whether itās for a day a weekend or 5 evenings you can learn so much from our experienced tutors. We know they will be popular. Thatās why weāve put on as many as we can fit in.
Book early as places are strictly limited and courses book extremely quickly.
We are also planning a Summer School of Print between 8th & 16th August. We will announce this after Easter, but expect weekend, week-long, two and 3 day courses all in an action packed 9 days!
