Free Flow Workshop – Paste a Trace! Linocut Printing
Courtyard
1.12 09.12
11:00 - 20:00
In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the basics of linocut carving and printing techniques. Participants will learn how to identify what makes an ideal image for a linocut artwork. They can either use their own design or use the readymade ones for printing. Starting with tracing the selected pattern or design and transferring them onto the lino surface, they can then carve the lino block with linocut blades to create a positive image. The image will be inked using a roller with block printing ink and printed onto paper or fabric.
Participants will also learn an easy way to print using a spoon and soap. They can take home the lino block to do more printing at home! The workshop will focus on mono or duo-colour print. Participants may choose to print the same design in multicolours.
Free admission on a first-come, first-served basis. No registration is required.

Electroluminescent Wire Sign Workshop
Verandah S3C, Staunton Block A
Date & Time
4.12 ( Tue )19:00 - 21:00

Electroluminescent wire (EL Wire) generates similar effects but is safer and easier to handle when compared with neon light, and it is the main material for this workshop.
Participants will be given a two-metre long EL wire. They will first learn about the usage and limitations of this material, then they will develop a draft based on their own choice of pattern and / or texts and decide on the measurements before twisting and creating the final product.
