I'm looking forward to facilitating Nature Printing workshops once Covid restrictions ease. The venue needs to have plenty of social spacing with at least one etching press and plenty of table space. I have a small portable press to add to the equipment that can be positioned on a bench. Artists and gardeners - come along and learn how to make direct impressions from plant specimens with ink and paper. Participants may bring local plants and also use the specimens provided. One or two day workshops - all materials are supplied and no art experience is necessary. Please contact me for more info.
I will be one the Creatives on site during the Creative Harvest Festival of edible gardens. With my little etching press I will be demonstrating 'nature printing' onto paper. I directly use botanical samples to create impressions of the plant, great detail can be achieved with ink and paper. Some of the plants I will be working with are from my host Adele's garden. Called 'Darna' this wonderful two and half acre garden is located at Darnum, in West Gippsland. I will have many prints, greeting cards and other gift items on display and for sale.
