The technique involves etching an image into a metal plate and then inking it and printing it onto handmade paper – several prints can be taken from each metal plate. Prints can also be taken from perspex (monoprinting), paper (collography) and glass (vitography). The studio is located in Mollymook and has been recently renovated to accommodate a new fine art press and ample room for classes of four to six students. Andrew says this is the ultimate way to learn printmaking.

Weekend workshops include all materials and gourmet lunches and aim at helping the student to complete a print by the end of the second day, while evening classes are geared towards those who would like to take the slower approach to the medium.
