Printmaking Workshop at arc Yinnar in May

-
Harvest Vestment, collagraph
composing the elements with shaped plates

Suitable for students preparing a folio, beginners wanting an introduction to the world of printmaking, and a professional development experience for teachers. All levels are welcome.

Participants enrolling in this weekend at arc Yinnar will work with cardboard, collage and metal plates to create textural prints on paper over the two days. The collagraph method will be explored to create shaped images. Rather than thinking within the square or rectangular format, students are given more choice and are encouraged to develop their own themes under guidance.

The cost for the weekend is $180 with some materials provided, times are 10 – 4.30 both days. Please contact the arc office for bookings and more information such as the basic tools to bring. Tea and coffee is provided. Phone 51631310 between Tues-Fri, 12-4pm or email arcyinnar@speedweb.com.au

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.
