Fun with Print - Make a Concertina Style Book to Celebrate - Torbay's Geopark

Celebrate the natural beauty of Torbay’s Geopark in this engaging, full-day workshop led by artist Alexandra Robb. This session invites you to explore the "endless possibilities" of our local landscape—from ancient rock formations to the kelp forests beneath the waves.

Participants will be guided through two distinct printmaking techniques:

1. Nature Monoprinting: Learn to pull unique images directly from plant materials, with a special focus on the delicate textures of seaweed.

1. Linocutting: Design, carve, and print a small-scale lino block.

By the end of the day, you will have mounted your collection of prints into a handmade concertina folding book, creating a tactile souvenir of the Geopark.

Schedule

• 10:45 – 13:00: Welcome, plant specimen printing, and lino block carving.
• 13:00 – 13:45: Lunch break (Relax and recharge in the heart of Torquay).
• 13:45 – 16:00: Inking and printing your lino designs and book assembly.

What’s Included: All professional equipment, water-based inks, and paper. What to Bring: Reference ideas (photos/sketches) and an apron to protect your clothes.
