Join artist Gill Kirk for a fun and hands on drypoint printing workshop at Studio 6, Pateley Makers Yard. In this workshop, you’ll be introduced to the wonderful world of drypoint, a style of intaglio printmaking to create your own unique artwork, under Gill’s expert guidance.
Gill is a familiar face at the Makers Yard; a fine artist, printer, and designer/maker living in rural Nidderdale, with her studio in the heart of Pateley Bridge. Her work focusses on the natural environment, particularly drawn to flora, trees and the local landscape. Well versed in running creative classes and workshops, Gill offers clear, supportive guidance as you explore working with printmaking, whether you’re a first time creative enthusiast or seasoned artist yourself.
You'll finish the class with new skills, newfound confidence, and a unique piece of art to proudly display at home. This class is great for beginners or those looking for a new creative outlet, designed for anyone wanting to try drypoint printing in a friendly and welcoming environment.
