An exciting weekend looking at ways of translating sketches into simple, evocative prints.

Starting by drawing outdoors from a range of subjects local to Cockenzie House, students will be encouraged to gather information in a variety of ways exploring line, tone and colour.

​Information gathered in sketches will then be used on the second day to create lively responses to the local landscape using simple printmaking techniques, without the use of a press, working with layers of colour and line.
