Christmas Card Printmaking with Liam Biswell – 7th November 2016 (EARLY SESSION)

Design and print a series of unique Christmas cards for your family and special friends with professional artist and tutor Liam Biswell.

Side-step the mass-produced Christmas stuff and make something really personal and unique for your family and friends this December. You’ll be developing your own limited edition print to make Christmas cards that will be treasured by family and special friends. And while you’re at it, you’ll learn a new skill and enjoy yourself!

• Work at your own pace to create complex designs full of detail, or something simple, cheery and eye-catching.
• Liam will have festive imagery for you to work from, alternatively feel free to bring along a selection of your own designs/images to use as a starting point.
• Step-by-step, Liam will guide you through the Drypoint Etching process as you develop your design and etch onto a printing plate.
• You will learn how to ink the plate and print your unique design (around A6 in size) onto various quality papers.

By the end of the workshop you will have a small edition of your own Christmas card design. Send them to your nearest and dearest, and keep one to remember a special time at the Phoenix Studio.
