SPRING VISUAL ART WORKSHOP OFFERINGS
TINY TAPESTRIES

COLLAGRAPH PRINT MAKING
ALL GRADE LEVELS | $130

Using a variety of upcycled textiles, students will explore the process of printmaking to produce a collagraph print. Inspired by the exhibition Transmissions, students will discover how pattern and texture can be used to make prints that embody unique meanings.
Inspired by our Current Exhibition
Within the spun fibres of yarn, the warp and weft of a weaving, the blocks of a quilt and the bond of indigo dye to fabric, textiles hold boundless knowledge, transmitted over generations. The exhibited artists draw on complex histories and rich cultural and personal practices connected to textiles to build sculptural works that move away from the gallery wall. Their techniques span weaving, dyeing, knotting and casting, among other processes. The artworks, created from a variety of organic and manufactured materials—from animal fibres and plant material to wire, rubber silicone and plastic—fill the gallery from floor to ceiling. The works’ relation to the body, three-dimensional space and evolving technologies stitch together the varied artworks presented in Transmissions.
