Time: 11am to 4pm
Facilitators: Christopher Doyle, Matt Feder and Nadrasca Studio Artists
Age Group: All ages (under 12s must be accompanied by an adult)
Join Chris, Matt and Nadrasca Studio artists inside the Social Fabric exhibition to screen print a large scale collective artwork on fabric. Everyone involved in the workshop will learn how to screen print an image onto fabric and contribute to the making of the artwork.
The workshop will use the exhibition as source material to explore the creative and expressive possibilities of screen printing. Working with the stories behind the exhibits in the gallery participants will create a new unified artwork out the collective experience of all. The final piece will then be curated and displayed for the remaining duration of the exhibition.

The art of adding colour to drypoint plates with the monotype process will also be explored and print etiquette will be introduced. Participants will have the opportunity to create a small edition of their own unique print with the intaglio method to record their ‘first impressions’ of these processes.
