Pochoir Printmaking: The David Nash approach
Masterclass with Jack Nash
Saturday 16 January 2027 | 10.30am - 4.30pm | Booking Required
David Nash and his son Jack have developed and refined their own unique approach to porchoir printing to create the fantastically popular prints of David’s work which are sold around the world. Using differing techniques of applying pigment pushed through layers of stencils it’s possible to create a range of striking images ranging from stark and bold to beautifully nuanced. This workshop, led by Jack, will give you the skills and confidence for all the stages of creation to produce your own collection of prints.
During the day you will:
• Decide how to layer your image.
• Mark out and cut your stencils.
• Create your own pads to apply the pigment.
• Experiment with the different techniques.
• Make a small series of prints.
Participants should have a pre prepared image of the same dimensions as the paper we'll be using for the prints (size to be decided but likely max 38 x 56cm, landscape or portrait), this will be used to create the stencil of the final image. Bring overalls / aprons / clothes you don't mind getting a little grubby, respirators or
dust masks if you have them.
