Join Artist-teachers Paul Wye and Ellie Green for a soothing creative Sunday in the Surrey Hills, foraging for fungus in the woods to photograph, before returning to the cosy Peaslake Village Hall to sip tea, nibble biscuits & create our own Jigsaw Lino blocks inspired by seasonal Fungi.

You’ll get the opportunity to work with our professional printing press, pulling multiple proofs to refine your design. You’ll benefit from the wisdom of two expert tutors on the day as you learn this new process. All materials and light refreshments are included!

Join SAS founder Ellie Green and Lead Printmaking tutor Paul Wye for a collaborative day course bringing together nature and creativity - inspired by and located at Leith Hill (AONB).

Beat the winter blues and look for beauty in the mid-winter with this drawing and printmaking course which will include: Mindful Photography, Sketching on location, Dry-point etching plate development and process & layered coloured prints using Chine Colle! We’ll have exclusive use of the Coldharbour Cricket Club in the heart of Leith Hill and will be bringing along our A3 press to use on the day.

Take a photo or make a drawing and then create a photo-copy.

Take that photo-copy and create the most soulful and stunning prints from the photo-copy itself!

This deeply satisfying and fully immersive full day course will teach you all you need to know to create stunning prints from old photographs or new. Take a cheap digital shot or photo-copy and transform it into a work of art!

Take a wander with us on a mindful journey through drawing, photography, print and textiles in this full day creative print and textiles course led by artist-teacher Paul Wye. We’ll be exploring the local area and gathering sketches, foraging materials and taking photographs - using colour, texture and pattern to inform further studio based creations across the day.

Create a drawing or painting onto Aluminium foil using anything from sharpies, to vegetable oil, wd-40 and other household products. Paul will then demonstrate how to create a 'bite' in the plate working with Coca Cola.

After this you'll be able to ink up and create multiple prints from your hand-made Aluminium printing plate, exploring different colour combinations and experimenting with inking up and wiping down the plate in an amazing variety of ways! 

This deeply satisfying and fully immersive full day course will teach you all you need to know to create stunning prints from old photographs or new. Take a cheap digital shot or photo-copy and transform it into a work of art!

Collograph is an exciting process that uses textures to create a print. Like collage you can combine various elements to make a print plate that is rich and expressive.

Cyanotype Masterclass

More details coming soon... 

In this full day Sunday school course, you will learn all about the layered print process of Chine Colle and Etching.

Etching as a process is like using a pen without the ink – literally, drawing with a dry point – to create an impression of a drawing that, when inked, can be printed from again and again.

Chine Colle is a delicate process that allows you to easily add texture and colour to prints using tissue and thin papers, making a variable edition that can individualise the mood of each piece.

On this course you will be shown step-by-step, the process of incorporating Chine Colle and selective wiping with Drypoint etching to pull distinct variable editions of a new print that you will make on the day.
