An access studio for printmaking with an emphasis on safer practices. Manly Vale, Sydney

Warringah Printmakers Studio is a community based, not-for-profit organisation promoting safer printmaking techniques. Studio members have access to classes, workshops, studio facilities, regular exhibitions & a variety of exciting, innovative projects. After becoming incorporated in 1997, the Warringah Printmakers Studio started working towards turning the workshop into a safer space by using alternative techniques to traditional etchants and solvents. The teachers at that time were very supportive of the initiative and kept a diary of observations about the newer techniques & materials. Knowledge acquired was shared and problem solving became part of the printmaking routine. The Warringah Printmakers Studio acknowledges & thanks all of the printmakers who helped in our development as a safer printmaking studio.

One plate, multiple colours and plenty of surprises! A colourful look back at Seraphina Martin’s one-day viscosity printing workshop at Warringah Printmakers Studio. Seraphina Seraphina Martin introduced participants to the possibilities of viscosity printing, using inks of different consistencies and large rollers to print multiple colours from a single plate in one pass through the press. Working with existing collagraph, solar, drypoint and TetraPak plates, participants experimented with colour, stencils and botanical materials to create bold, layered and wonderfully unexpected prints.
Thank you, Seraphina, for sharing your incredible knowledge and guiding such an inspiring day of colour and experimentation. And thank you to everyone who joined us!
