Creative Workshops

Workshops take place in Marigold’s studio near Matfield in Kent, just off the A21. She has taught printmaking and drawing for the past six years, including with Kent Adult Education. Alongside her own practice she works as a professional printer for artists and as a technician in a busy London print workshop. Marigold’s aim is to make printmaking accessible and enjoyable for everyone -encouraging curiosity, experimentation and the pleasure of getting lost in the process. Just bring an apron, a packed lunch and some enthusiasm.

Carborundum & Drypoint PRINTMAKING

Explore new ways of making collagraph plates using carborundum-a fine grit that adheres to the surface of the plate using a water based glue.
