Mezzotint is an Intaglio printmaking process without the use of harsh chemicals. Working with pre-prepared copper and high contrast source material, you will have the opportunity to burnish and work the copper to reveal an illusion of depth through tonal contrast. This burnish from dark to light can yield high quality rich velvety prints. Y ou will have the opportunity to test print and produce a range of final prints to take away, along with your copper plate. No experience is necessary, you can approach this workshop as a complete beginner or a printmaker wanting to experience more techniques. All materials are included in the workshop price. On The Day Doors are open for tea and coffee at 10am and we aim to be wrapped up by 4.30pm. If you need to leave earlier, let me know at the start. We will spend a short time looking at the technique of Mezzotint and how the copper plates were prepared. All materials and tools are available to you and we will get to know how to use them. We will spend time working our copper plates and I will guide you throughout. I aim to stop for a 30 minute lunch at 12.30pm but this can be flexible around the stages people are working at.  By mid afternoon we will look at inking the plate and pulling some prints using my Intaglio Press.  I will demonstrate how to clean and keep the copper plate and also how you can set up at home if you wanted to continue using the Mezzotint technique. This workshop is about process, so don't worry too much about the imagery, you can bring your sketches or use the ideas I will have available. Directions Holwood Farm is in a picturesque valley close to the village of Blunts in Cornwall. The postcode PL12 5AL will give you good directions but just ensure you go to the Holwood Business Centre on the farm. On arrival you will see the converted studios and the parking available.
