Greetings, art enthusiasts! I’m thrilled to invite you to an extraordinary printmaking workshop that will ignite your creativity and leave you with stunning, personal prints. I’m Nusye McComish, aka SouthSeaEyes Printmaker, and I’ll be your guide on this artistic journey. Join me at Aspex Portsmouth on the 25th of June 10:30am – 2:40pm for an engaging workshop where we’ll explore the beauty of battleship grey linoblock and rubber block techniques.
During this workshop, we’ll dive into the enchanting world of printmaking and unlock the charm of carving techniques to navigate the battleship grey and hessian-backed lino block techniques, as well as the versatility of rubber speedycut blocks. Together, we’ll create layered prints that will come to life on our exclusive, hand-bound sketchbooks. But this workshop is about more than just the physical act of printmaking. It’s an opportunity to delve into the therapeutic process of creativity, focusing on your mental well-being and the sheer joy of “making”. In our relaxed and welcoming space, you’ll find tranquillity and the freedom to explore, create, and uncover new passions.
Discover Your Art Printing Journal:
Throughout the workshop, we’ll transfer your unique designs onto our hand-bound sketchbooks, resulting in a beautiful art printing journal that reflects your artistic journey. Each page will capture the essence of your creativity, becoming a cherished keepsake of your artistic exploration. By the end of our time together, you’ll not only leave with a handcrafted print but also with enhanced skills and confidence in printmaking. You’ll be equipped with the knowledge and inspiration to continue your printmaking journey at home, bringing your creativity to life in your very own art printing journal.
