Recent reviews of Weekend Print Making Course

  • 5/5 from Alvaro Alemparte, attended Jan 2026: Was a great class! We started as totally begginers and ended up doing many different proyects using diverse techniques. Was really fun and relaxed. Emily gived us a lot of freedom to explore our own style and teached us a lot of different ways to print at home for further proyects.
  • 5/5 from Zoe Wake, attended Jan 2026: Such a fun and enjoyable weekend. Friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and a wonderful teacher who makes printmaking feel tangible, accessible, and completely manageable for everyday people. The group was lovely, and the studio itself is beautiful — great natural light, plenty of space, classic Brunswick chic, and an easy venue with good parking. Being close to local cafés was a real bonus too. We were introduced to a range of techniques over the weekend, starting with lino cutting and printing, then moving on to stamp making and milk-carton etching. Each process was explained clearly and built on the last, so nothing felt rushed or overwhelming. On the final day, we brought everything together in a larger project of our own choosing, which was a really satisfying way to consolidate the skills we’d learned and leave with something truly personal. A really enjoyable experience that I’d happily recommend.
  • 5/5 from Marg McKenzie, attended Nov 2023: Thanks, Emily was a patient and fun teacher, great spot, goor resources, all round a lovely way to spend a weekend Thanks

Hi, my name is Emilie Walsh and I'm an artist and educator. I run Couleur, a small printmaking studio in Brunswick East. Come and learn block printmaking with me: my classes are fun, engaging and adapted to all levels!
I believe artists have a mission to engage, educate and spark joy and curiosity: Couleur is the perfect place to start learning printmaking and gain autonomy to print from home.
