Photopolymer printmaking workshop

Returning to the Hub, Longley will teach a workshop on printmaking with photopolymer plates and pigment. Participants are asked to bring drawings and photographs from which they will create beautiful intaglio designs.

Participants will learn how to make their own photopolymer prints using graphite pencils or felt tipped markers, and drawing onto drafting film. Each person will bring drawings or photographs to trace or use as inspiration, and take home a print.

Dianne Longley runs Agave Print Studio in Trentham, where she offers many services for newbies and seasoned artists alike. With an extensive background in printmaking, and a specialisation in safer print techniques, Longley creates unique works characterised by intricate designs and nuanced compositions.
