The Open Access Sessions are for printmakers to use the print facilities at Cardiff Print Workshop. They are times when the workshop will be staffed by an experienced printmaker to allow anyone with previous printmaking experience or who has completed a printmaking class at CPW to be able to continue to use the workshop for their own projects.
CPW have the facilities for:
Etching copper, zinc or aluminium.
Lino and wood cut
Cyanotype
Photo intaglio
Collograph
Mono-type
Open Access Sessions are restricted to no more that 3 participants and are by appointment only.
One of the simplest forms of printmaking this age old technique can be one of the hardest to master. The class will look at how differing materials such as wood and Lino can be used to create striking graphic effects, taking inspiration from some of the great exponents of the art. We will explore the range of tools and different marks made by each, printing by hand and by using the presses in the workshop.

Really pleased to be a part of this exhibition in a large house in Anglesey. Unfortunately due to the pandemic it can only be seen via the internet and not in person as originally intended but the organisers have done a fantastic job of documenting and publicising the show.
