The last class was "Print in the City 3 " at UWE. For the last 3 years we've been running primitive print making classes in the city of Bristol. This year we were based in the MShed, a fantastic museum in the heart of the city, it's focus, Bristol.
Building on the foundations of the previous industrial museum, it holds tons of exciting machines, vehicles, huge signs and other bits and pieces in its storage depot, Eduardo Paolozzi's heaven essentially. Outside, on the harbourside you'll find more signs, and other industrial paraphernalia. An excellent place to make primitive prints.
We started off making clay prints.
First roll out some clay on an interesting surface.
Ink up the clay impression (using relief printing ink & roller)
And press down on paper !
Using the items found in the Mshed storage depot as subject matter,
the participants made a number of carved plaster blocks - these have been sealed with button polish.
Frottage or Creative Rubbings.
On the last day we made a number of rubbings from a number of interesting surfaces.
