Printmaking with Everyday Objects

×

Expand

During this workshop, we will stretch printmaking conventions. Employing DIY methods, we will use commonly available objects (rubber bands, paper cut-outs, leaves, bones, ferns, feathers, flour, charcoal powder) as "plates" to make repeated patterns. We may sprinkle pigment over the surface and spray it with water to develop the colour, to form varied textures. We will also experiment with frottage and collage.

In addition to synthetic inks, we will experiment with organics (coffee, henna, beets, grass) that we can find in daily life. Unlike synthetic inks, their colours change as they oxidize.

Though not required, participants can also bring their own materials, such as cardboard, or old books. Open to anyone 10 and older at all skill levels.

$60 - includes all materials and supplies.
