Intro to Collagraph Printing Workshop

Explore the simple printing technique of collagraph printing with local artist Penny Smith. During this two hour workshop you will make collaged printing plates to create textured artworks that are unique to you. It will be a fun, hands-on, and slightly messy experience, and drawing skills are not required. Do bring an apron, and your glasses if they're needed for close work. This workshop is aimed at all skill levels, beginners are welcome, minimum age 16 years. All materials supplied.

This workshop is on Wednesday 10th December, starting prompt at 10am. It takes place at West Bay Cafe, not Westgate Galleria.

We are grateful to the team at West Bay Cafe for hosting this series of sociable Winter Wednesday Workshops, and we ask that you join us in saying thank you by treating yourself to one of their scrummy cuppa and cake offers during or after your session with Penny.

Our warm and friendly venue is on Westgate's seafront, and is a wonderful option for lunch with a spectacular view. Free parking is available nearby and it is a short walking distance (5-10 minutes) from the town's train station and bus stops, and our shop space too. Its address is Sea Road, CT88QA, under Finbars Restaurant.
