Printing from Life on The Shore with Clare Henderson

A full day printing workshop for participants interested in gaining experience using a printing press and recycled materials to make Tetrapak drypoints.
We will begin at Work Shop with Clare showing you some drawing systems and techniques and displaying the Tetrapak drypoint process. Then, as a group, we will venture out towards the shore to document maritime elements of Bantry that we will later translate into print. If the weather is against us we will stay at Work Shop and draw and make prints from marine objects and pictures Clare has collected.
