Guest Workshops

This year I've been invited to teach at Handprinted studios in Sussex and the Curwen Print studio in Suffolk. The Handprinted workshops are now sold out but there is still space available on the October workshop at Curwen- see below) Hope you can join me ( and Marple! )

  • Curwen Print Centre -Thurs 9th/ Fri 10th October

    In this 2-day workshop, we will explore drawing and look at ways to turn your drawings into prints. Sketchbook drawings need reworking and re-thinking to successfully produce a linocut print from them.
    In the middle of the studio there will be an extravagant autumnal still life from which to draw from. You will spend the first morning drawing using pencil and charcoal, producing quick expressive drawings. In the afternoon you will experiment with various forms of monoprinting.
    On the second day you will draw from the still life again but this time exploring how to draw for linocut and investigate how this approach differs. You will use one of your drawings and turn it into an A6 single colour linocut.

Testimonials

  • Sam is a deeply knowledgeable and encouraging tutor who is skilled in conveying key concepts in a clear and engaging manner.

    While remaining respectful of attendees' skill levels,  she was able to foster a challenging but achievable pace in my workshop which ensured participants gained the greatest value from their time.  I spent my evening on a high,  thrilled by the results of our time together.

  • I learnt lots at the Experimental Printmaking workshop - a fun and informative 3 hours in which Sam taught several techniques allowing time for surprising and pleasing results to emerge!

    My previous printmaking experience was some monoprint with just a bit of linocut, but Sam’s teaching and encouragement meant I felt able to participate fully. I gained knowledge and inspiration from this workshop and have continued to experiment since. Highly recommended!

  • Sam’s workshops are so refreshing! Such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, great for inspiring creativity in a relaxed environment.

    The small group setting means you get plenty 1-2-1 tutoring time, as well as group discussions & feedback, and Sam’s knowledge and enthusiasm really shines through. The workshops are well-paced; it’s easy to keep up with Sam’s teaching and there’s no sense of pressure or urgency in trying to complete exercises. Would (and do!) highly recommend Sam’s workshops!
