Have you always wanted to create a print of your favourite carabiner, your trusty old pair of Docs, or perhaps your lucky jockstrap - Then I've got the workshop for you!
Welcome to Calm Carving at The Glitch, Waterloo. Perfect for all levels of experience, during the workshop I will take you through all the steps of lino printing using various queer archive images and objects as ideas for your prints. If you have a particular item that you'd like to bring with you, please do!
During a 2-hour session, I will take you through every part of the process, whatever your skill level, and you'll leave with your very own personally designed lino print! A relaxed environment for all queer people to get together and be creative.
All art materials will be provided and you will get to leave with your finished lino block and any prints you have made!
