Make it with Marmalade Introduction to Printmaking one day workshop

Is Printmaking for you? Come and find out at our friendly, hands-on, introductory workshop day for people who have no experience, but would like to try both Intaglio and Relief printmaking techniques in one session. Here’s what one of our students, Pauline said about her workshop with us, “It has been fantastic to learn the beginnings of a new process, and I know that I would love to learn more. The venue, the people and the teaching all made for a really special experience for me. ” You will work in a small group with lots of one-to-one tuition designed to help you decide what direction you might like to pursue as a printmaker in the future. By the end of the workshop, you will have an understanding of printmaking as an artform, be comfortable using our printmaking equipment and will have designed and produced a Drypoint Etching and a Linocut print yourself. All materials are provided along with tea, coffee and homemade cakes, but please bring your own lunch with you. You are welcome to eat in the studio or, if it’s fine weather, to picnic in our lovely garden. Please note that although we have aprons in the studio for you to use, we recommend that you don’t wear your best clothes when you visit us, as printmaking can be a bit messy. Young people over 16 years old are very welcome if they bring an adult with them. Getting to us at marmalade is easy, with buses from Cambridge (the T5 run by A2B Buses), Ely and Newmarket (the 112 run by Stephensons Buses) stopping either outside the studio, or a few minutes away. The rail station at Soham with trains from Ely is a ten minute walk from us. If you are coming by car, there is free on street parking outside the studio on Pratt Street and two free local car parks a short walk away. ​
