Course FAQs

WHEN DOES THIS COURSE RUN?

It is a self-paced course so available any time.

IS THERE TUTOR INTERACTION?

The course has an in-built Printmakers Forum where you can ask questions, share your work with other students taking the course as well as a Facebook group. For those who have completed PART 3 I will be offering small group printmaking sessions via ZOOM.

I will also be available to answer questions by email at sally@sallyhirst.co.uk.

IS THERE AN ONLINE COMMUNITY?

Yes, all course participants have the option of sharing work they create within each module of the course. There you can share your work and ideas if you wish to do so and see work by other students.

Of course! The payment is set in GDP as I am in the UK but when you pay it will convert to your own currency

HOW DO I ACCESS THE COURSE?

You will be asked to register on the teaching platform Ruzuku. That is where the course lives.

HOW LONG SHOULD I EXPECT TO SPEND?

I have planned the workshop over THREE PARTS each based on a two/three day long in-person workshop in my studio. As such expect to put aside at least 20 hours to set up, watch the videos, join discussions and complete the tasks for each part . But unlike an in-person workshop you get lifetime access to the content and can revisit it anytime!

The classes are delivered in video format via the online platform Ruzuku. There is also additional written content in the form of downloadable PDF’s

To get the most out of the class you need to have a high speed internet connection and newer computer or mobile device that is equipped to stream video off of the internet.

Part 1 is for beginners, so LEVEL 1, PARTS 2 & 3 are Level 2 classes suitable are suitable for anyone who has experience of intaglio printmaking

No, I encourage you to work with what you have and adapt the classes to suit your needs. I am all for mixing things up and experimenting with materials! There is a supply list available in advance for each course.
