Workshop
The Print Workshop at Heatherley's offers the use
of printmaking facilities to students who have some
printmaking experience.
With a printmaking tutor available to offer guidance
and assistance, it is aimed primarily at people
who initiate their own ideas and who need time to
develop a project, experiment with a new process
or who perhaps want to edition a print.
This flexible pay-as-you-go scheme runs on Saturdays
10.00am-4.00pm and each two and a half hour
lesson costs £17. The facilities can be booked
by giving three days notice. Booking and payment
is made at the School office. Payments are not
transferable to other courses in the School.
The school darkroom is also available.
*There is occasional use of the Print Studio by
vocational students. For details check with the
school office at the beginning of the term. |
