About your tutor
Michelle Avison studied painting at the Slade School of Art in the late 1980s, going on to study Printmaking MA at Wimbledon School of Art. Michelle is an experienced artist educator committed to sharing her printmaking expertise and ideas. Michelle works across different printmaking techniques including etching, relief print, drypoint and monotype. She can be seen on the beach in Scotland and more recently the west coast of Wales, working directly on her plates in an immediate response to environment and weather.
What should I bring?
You don’t need to bring anything- just an interest in etching.
