Enjoy a day of sculptural activities: carve plaster, create sculptural scenes, draw onto etching plates and work through the drypoint printmaking process.

Learn new knowledge and skills with artist Ines Fernandez de Cordova, and create your own artworks to take away with you. Be inspired by Henry Moore’s multidisciplinary approach to making as we explore different creative processes, objects and ideas throughout the day.

This day course will consist of two parts, sculpting and printmaking.

During the morning session we’ll intuitively modify pre-made plaster forms, turning them into your own small sculptures. We’ll then arrange them in a playful still life, to use as inspiration for the afternoon session.

In the afternoon we’ll use our sculptural objects as a starting point to create designs for printmaking, experimenting with abstracting lines and composition.

Each participant will be provided with an aluminium plate to draw directly on to with etching needles. Following this, we will go through the inking process and finally the printing stage, so that everyone can take their print away with them.

This full day workshop is designed for adults and young people aged 16+.
