Tutor info
Jenny McCabe is a printmaker based in Lancaster where she works from her own studio, she also teaches regularly in printroom’s around the country. Jenny works mainly with intaglio printmaking methods preferring metal plate etchings and collagraph. Her work always starts with drawing and the technical challenge of turning a simple piece of metal or card into a piece of art. She breathes life into the plates with her decisive, quick, and animated mark-making. Wildlife and nature feature heavily in Jenny’s work, using messy gestural lines to capture the energy and movement of the subjects.
All of our workshops take place in our studio at 22 Arun Business Park, Shripney Road, Bognor Regis, PO22 9SX.
Please choose either Saturday/Sunday or Monday/Tuesday
