Time: 6.30 - 8.00 PM

Venue: The Gallery at Green & Stone

Tickets: £65

Discover the art of drypoint etching in this hands-on introduction to printmaking with artist Guy Allen.

Explore the fascinating process of creating an original print. Through demonstrations and guided instruction, Guy will introduce you to the techniques of drypoint.

Inspired by the natural world, this workshop invites you to explore wildlife through drawing and printmaking. Participants are welcome to bring along photographs, sketches or small objects relating to wildlife as inspiration for their designs.

You’ll have the opportunity to experiment with the process, develop your own image and see your artwork transformed through the printing press. You’ll leave with one or two original prints of your own to take home.

Suitable for beginners, this is a wonderful opportunity to discover a traditional printmaking technique and explore the creative possibilities of etching in a relaxed, supportive environment.

Please email us in advance with any accessibility requirements.

Guy Allen

Guy Allen is an experimental printmaker, draftsman and talented young British artist. Working hard from his studio on the North Norfolk coast, Guy’s trademark experimental approach to printmaking presents an exciting mix of colour, gold-leaf and an original, contemporary take on the traditional art of etchings. Studying at Central St Martins from 2008 – 2011 Guy discovered the printing press on a trip to the École Nationale Supérieure Des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Finding an art form that lent itself so perfectly to his artistic aspirations was a revelation. He has never looked back. Since then Guy has won a number of prices, include the Diana Brooks Prize at the Mall Galleries in 2018.

Guy also has a philanthropic interest and supports many arts charities each year including Art For Youth, EACH, Keeping A Breast, Art For Cure, Marie Curie UK and Well Child.
