Loraine and Chris Waites
have been experimenting with the Gum Arabic technique to improve the quality
and consistency of their results. There are several governing factors. One is
to maintain the integrity of the paper plate over a larger number of prints.
They believe they’ve made a breakthrough by using a brush
technique rather than a roller to apply the ink to the Gum Arabic soaked paper.
They will demonstrate this new technique (adapted from a workshop led by ceramic
artist Brad) and there will be time to have a go. They will also bring
along examples of the type of image that work well with this
technique.
If you want to come along please book by emailing Emma: print@thebluecoat.org.uk. There are
only six places for this free opportunity.
