EmailIn this hands-on workshop, participants will delve into the fundamentals of drypoint, a versatile intaglio technique that allows for rich and expressive mark-making.
Throughout the workshop, Jemma will share her expertise and guide you through each step of the process, from preparing your plate to pulling your own prints. You'll learn how to create intricate and textured images using simple materials and techniques that can be easily replicated at home. You'll learn how to add pops of colour to your designs through the application of Chine- Colle.
Whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience with printmaking, this workshop offers a welcoming environment for exploration and learning. By the end of the session, you'll have gained a solid understanding of drypoint printmaking and the confidence to continue practicing on your own.
Please note that there is a set of stairs to walkup and therefore unsuitable for anyone in a wheelchair. If you'd like to do a workshop with us, we can always arrange to come to you for a group booking.

Bristol Print Collective
Bristol Print Collective is run by Jemma Gunning and Victoria Willmott - two self-confessed print nerds with a passion for sharing their love of printmaking with whoever wants to discover more about it! The ethos behind Bristol Print Collective is to teach DIY printmaking to enable participants to carry on with printmaking at home. The pair can be found popping up in locations all over south-west England, armed with ink and tools like pasta machines to share the wonders of low tech printmaking.
Jemma Gunning
Jemma has been working in the realms of printmaking since falling in love with the printed mark on her BA in Drawing many moons ago. She specialises in intaglio and lithographic processes that are rooted in drawing. As a documentary printmaker recording our fading heritage, her practice captures derelict spaces that are in a state of flux, highlighting the beauty that is often found in decay.
Jemma has been teaching printmaking for nearly 10 years. In 2015 she co-founded Bristol Print Collective, a group of printmakers that pop up across the south-west, sharing their skills and passion with diverse communities. In 2020 she co-established Bristol Print Atelier, a place to teach traditional printmaking processes to keep historic techniques alive. Jemma also works part-time as a lithography technical instructor at UWE.
