Relief Printing and Plaster Casting with Ursula Kelly
Artist printmaker, educator and baker Ursula Kelly takes 12-15 year olds through a two day, creative relief printmaking project of monumental scale and ambition.
This project was shared with AccessArt as part of the 40 Artist Educator Project, funded by Arts Council England, aiming to highlight and celebrate artist-led teaching and facilitation.
2-day relief printmaking project with 12-15 year olds by Ursula Kelly
During the summer of 2013 I delivered a two-day printmaking summer school to a group of nine 12-15 year olds in Orleans House Gallery, Twickenham. This would also be suitable as a secondary school project, an Arts Award project or for adult learners.
The aim of the workshop was to use basic printmaking principles to create a series of 2D & 3D print works.

Thank you Ursula for sharing this wonderful workshop with AccessArt. We love the energy and ambition of it – especially using the garden roller to do massive wood cut prints. Keep us posted on new ideas and workshops!

You are most welcome Shelia. It was such a wonderful project, it is great to share it. Thanks to yourself and Paula for providing such a fantastic resource.
I’m currently working a series of family workshops for The Big Draw with Wandsworth Museum & The National Army Museum as well as all the regular workshops at Orleans House Gallery.
I’m hoping to get a blog for workshops up soon so will keep you posted.
Thanks again,
Ursula

What a brilliant project. Those students must have got so much out of it.i love the idea of starting with the lino cut and then using that to make the plaster mould. But the wooden block print is an inspired idea. It is difficult to get older students to cooperate on one pice of work like this. I also like the fact that all nine prints were different. I actually like a more uneven textured print as against an totally even print. Thanks for sharing it
