Join artist Sheyne Tuffery in a 1 day workshop exploring found object and relief textured printmaking. In this workshop, you will explore printing without a press - ghost printing and making compositions from found objects. We will explore embossing, image transfer and hand burnishing.

Participants are asked to collect and bring along soft found materials that can be used as a matrix to print off and create layered compositions. Found materials eg. wallpapers, dried leaves, lace, textured material, rubber textures, anything soft.

You will also be able to use some of Sheyne’s materials to help enhance your print compositions.
