25.01.2022 WORKSHOP 20th 21st MARCH BLOCK PRINTING $120 members $140 non members SOME materials will be provided by Brigitte. Materials List in mid Feb. At the Mackay Art Society Building Beaconsfield 8.30 for 9am start; till 4PM SAT. and till 3pm Sunday... With BRIGITTE ZIMMERMAN ‘BRIZI’ Fun and colourful Block printing Workshop with Brigitte Zimmermann. Brigitte has over thirty years teaching art practice and is a member of Printbank Mackay and Mackay Art Society. Friends say she has taught half of Mackay in printmaking Brigitte will be guiding artists through different stages of printing without a press: like block printing with Ezy Carve (waterbased Ink) and colourful mono printing with a Gel Printing plate with Acrylic. The monoprint, we will use it as background for block printing. Most materials are included. MATERIALS LIST WILL BE SENT AFTER CONTACTING SUE GEE FROM THE MACKAY ART SOCIETY Contact ; [email protected] or 0408 887 904 Learning Blockprinting: Ezy Carve (small sister of Lino or Vinyl) is easier to carve, like butter and very economical because both sides can be used. Block printing is made from a design carved on a block and we will use Lino cut tools. The raised uncarved section of the image will print, and the carved sections will be white. We will experiment with reverse writing, transfer a sketch on a block, fun with mono printing and make your own name stamp. Mono printing: Gel printing plate has endless possibilities and is fun and colourful. We will use some leaves or found objects. Happy printing Brigitte
