On this three-day camp, children will be introduced to the wonderful world of printmaking and learn two brilliant printmaking processes, one with, and one without a print press. The tutor will introduce a range of techniques including monoprint and collagraph printing, and help participants to use these processes to create their own unique prints.

Take inspiration from MACs current exhibition Waste Age: What can design do?utilising recycled and found materials to create unique and interesting prints. There will be time for a guided visit to the exhibition during the camp.
