Collagraphs at Home
In this workshop, Artist Adrian Moule worked with the group participants on how to make Collagraph prints, the group participants were able to make two different types of prints to capture the area of Teesside, the River Tees and Crossing the Tees.

In this workshop, Artist Anna Cole led an introduction to making Cyanotypes at home to the group participants. The group participants were introduced to drawing on acetate to make a negative for the print. Various shapes were used for this to capture their own vision of the Tees.
