Pop Art Portraits
With Rebecca Vincent and Carol Nunan

Saturday and Sunday | Nov 19/20| 10.00 – 16.00 |

 

Would you like to create a very special portrait without having to draw or paint? Would you like it to have a “Pop Art” look or contemporary style? Bring along your own images of family, friends or even pets and transform them into works of art using the medium of photo-etching. On this course you will be able to transfer your image to the surface of a metal plate then print it in colour. You can get even more creative by making a second plate with pattern or painterly marks that prints under the first. Print in contrasting colours and you will be knocked out by the results! Note that images need to be prepared as acetates in advance of the course. Preparation notes will be sent out in good time.

REBECCA VINCENT (BFA (hons) MFA) trained at the Ruskin School of Art, Oxford University then at Newcastle University, specialising in printmaking. She continues to make original prints, exhibiting and selling in various galleries in the region. She has taught printmaking on adult education courses for 13 years. She also leads schools and community workshops and has been a visiting lecturer for fine art degree courses.

CAROL NUNAN (HNDip Visual Communications (hons.) trained as a graphic designer at The National College of Art & Design (NCAD), Dublin, Ireland. A monotype course with Rebecca became the catalyst for a new career as a fine artist printmaker. Carol has led many printmaking workshops for children and adults. She also exhibits and sells her work through a number of galleries in the North East.
