COLOURED ALUMINIUM : Pattern & Print - 14 JUNE

Anodised aluminium is a fascinating and diverse material, which can be decorated to produce stunning effects for contemporary jewellery, craft and sculpture.

Working with pre-anodised aluminium you will focus on the decorative colouring of the material. You will be introduced to a host of printmaking techniques through demonstrations and discussions; including block printing, collagraph and mono-print. There will be a strong emphasis on the use of found, recycled and foraged natural materials to produce unexpected textures and patterns.

You will create a series of samples and notes as you try out each colouring technique, providing a useful reference collection, whilst being encouraged to experiment and explore the capabilities of the material. The course will cover the considerations required when designing for anodised aluminium.

You can expect to come away from the course with a good set of samples and the confidence to continue exploring the subject alone. You will be given notes and a useful list of suppliers during the course.
