“I chose to study at Newbury College because it was conveniently close. I also loved the course choices, such a huge range, it was very difficult for me to decide what would be best. I had a lot of support to help me choose what course would be best for my future. I have enjoyed the confidence that I have gained from my course and I am very thankful for everything the college has done for me.”

Description
Learners will produce a portfolio of mono prints which explore layering and building colour, using cut stencils, organic forms (flowers, leaves), man-made items (packaging - recycling) to mask areas and create pattern on their printing plates. By layering prints on-top of one another dramatic effects will be created. This is a truly addictive process which yields exciting results which vary each time. This course will also incorporate image transfer working with magazines and personal imagery as well as printing onto fabrics.
