Postcard Print Exchange Workshop
March 11 @ 1:00 pm
$35 – $45
In conjunction with the Fan Mail 2.0 exhibition, this workshop will be a hands-on activity of making art and connecting with others. Participants will carve soft linoleum blocks with an image or symbol of their choice, or something inspired by the exhibition. There will be an option to collaborate on the carving, either in the design phase or swapping blocks part way through the carving process.
Following, we will ink up and print the blocks onto Postcard-sized paper. Participants will make multiple prints, and be encouraged to collaborate during the printing process as well, adding layers and additional elements from each other’s blocks.
Last, we will exchange prints with one another, leaving the workshop with a handful of collaborative and inspiring postcard-sized prints.
We will learn how to carve, ink, and make a series of quality linoleum block prints. Instruction will focus on a fun and playful approach to making art, engage with the materials, embrace ‘happy accidents’, and celebrate whimsical outcomes.
