Wednesday Night Workshop - Relief Printing

You won’t find lino printing at this month’s Wednesday Night Workshop, instead we will be experimenting with other forms of relief printing – think Lego and foam.

Taking a playful approach to a classic workshop favourite, during this workshop you are invited to create your own prints using Lego dots and foam shapes. Discover the array of shapes, images and words you can create using the humble Lego dot, and create a range of prints to share with friends and family. Using basic materials and guided by teaching artist Yaz Gaté, participants will learn how basic materials can be transformed into a work of art.

Get creative on your Wednesday night and meet like-minded people, all while enjoying tasty snacks and delicious drinks in a relaxed and welcome workshop environment.

All materials provided. This is strictly an 18+ workshop.
