Join artists, experts, and printmakers for this two-day course on prints, from how they are made to building your own collection.
This weekend course will give an insight into how prints are made; the various forms of prints and printmaking; and the collaborative relationship between artists and printers. The course will include a private tour of our print displays, archive and print room, and feature talks from artists including Royal Academicians, and art market experts. The course will explain the terminology behind prints and will include tips for starting or building a print collection – as well as for hanging and presenting your prints.
Participants will have access to the RA Editions programme and the opportunity to invest in work by Royal Academicians, graduates, and associates of the Royal Academy Schools.
This weekend course is aimed at those wishing to start an art collection as well as seasoned collectors wishing to broaden their collecting horizons. With specialist information on key trends and developments in the print market, as well as on caring for and displaying prints, the course will offer a guide for those wishing to buy, understand and enjoy prints.
