Printmaking - 5 Day Mezzotint Course with Sarah Gillespie
A five day mezzotint printmaking course with master printmaker Sarah Gillespie. We launched this new Mezzotint course in 2019, despite being a very unique course, where you really spend time and attention slowing down to create each plate, it was a huge success so we’re thrilled to be offering it again in 2020.
