Join professional printmaker Joanne Fitzpatrick for a hands-on Intaglio printmaking workshop where you’ll learn the basics of this expressive intaglio technique. Using a sharp needle, you’ll carve your own design into a plastic plate to create a rich, velvety line quality unique to drypoint technique. Unlike traditional etching, this process involves no acids just direct mark-making and inking. Bring an image you’d like to work from, and you will be guided through transferring it onto your plate, inking it up, and printing it using a press. You will go home with a range of art prints ready for framing.

This workshop is perfect for beginners and those curious about printmaking. All materials provided except your reference image. Please bring an apron or old shirt to protect clothing from inks.

Get into the festive spirit and create your own set of beautiful, fused glass decorations in this relaxing, hands-on workshop. Guided by glass artist Natasha Duddy, you’ll design and make a selection of charming seasonal pieces, including a classic winter robin, a decorative Christmas wreath, and a delicate angel.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of glass cutting and explore how to layer vibrant coloured frits and fine glass stringers to bring texture, detail and sparkle to your designs. Whether you choose traditional festive tones or colours to complement your home, each piece will be uniquely yours.

Your decorations will be returned for collection before Christmas ready to hang on your tree.
