IMG_7569.JPG

This one day workshop offers 10 people the opportunity to work with artist Leonie Lachlan to produce a series of drawn and printed works in Balfron Tower, responding to the modernist icon’s formal characteristics and its surroundings. Throughout September Leonie will be artist in residence in Balfron Tower and will establish a printroom with intaglio and relief facilities in one of the building’s flats.

This workshop, suitable for beginner printmakers and those with more experience, will explore drawing as a means of looking at space and interpreting its structure and printmaking as a means for understanding its layers and construction. The printmaking techniques explored will include drypoint, relief, collagraph and embossing.

The morning will be spent drawing in and around Balfron Tower. In the afternoon particpants will learn interesting structural printing methods and will have the opportunity to produce a series of printed works and/or bookwork.

All printing materials and some drawing materials will be provided (although participants will be advised to bring sketchbooks if they wish). Paper and ink costs are included in the workshop fee.

Workshop suitable for 16 years upwards and costs £40 per person plus booking fee.
