Mezzotint Workshop

 Another very enjoyable two days spent delivering a mezzotint workshop at Prospect Studios in Waterfoot, Rossendale. Once again some excellent work has been produced in just two days.

Prospect Studios Mezzotint Workshop

 Weather wise it's been a pretty miserable weekend with two days of non-stop heavy rain making the rivers run high with brown peat stained water. So what better way to spend the weekend than teaching a mezzotint workshop in good company at my favourite studio, run by Alan Birch at Waterfoot in Rossendale. Just an hours drive over the moors from home. With a mixture of artists, some of whom had been on my previous workshops there and some others making their first mezzotint prints it's been a thoroughly enjoyable two days with some really stunning results.

Mezzotint Workshop

Just back from an enjoyable weekend running a mezzotint workshop at my friend Alan Birch's Prospect Studio. One of my favourite places to go. Always a friendly welcome and groups of enthusiastic printmakers willing to take on something new. Of the eight artists, 4 had been on a workshop that I had run here last year but the others were new to the technique. Working on plates around 3 inches by 4 inches these are excellent results from just two sessions of 6 hours each.

The plate above I feel is an amazing piece of work from someone trying the technique for the first time. More incredibly this photo was taken after only 3 hours of  work.
