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.

Drawing is mostly about hand-eye coordination, so that everything is precise and the result is visually pleasing. Have you ever tried drawing staring at your subject without looking at the paper? Maybe you will end up with something funny that bears no resemblance to the subject. It is an alternative way to practise hand-eye coordination, letting your hand trace what you see. Let's step out of our preconceived ideas of beauty and explore the other possibilities together!
(The organizer suggests participants attend the workshop in groups of at least 2 people.)

The popularity of different ingredients in cooking varies from decade to decade. Sometimes the use of a certain ingredient declines only because of our limited knowledge and understanding of it. Is salted fish only good for fried rice and meat cake? Curator Andy Dark will demonstrate other possibilities of using salted fish creatively to make dishes that you wouldn’t have expected!

Art is a conduit for the development of the self and the world.
Art psychotherapy is a form of treatment, a tool for self-development and exploration. In our daily lives, we try to make plans, and sometimes we make mistakes. We would evaluate, rework and reinvent to discover something new. Art psychotherapy can be the very testing ground for us to process life, and free ourselves from the emotional baggage we carry.
The session will be led by 1 to 2 professional art psychotherapists, and begin with simple sharing among participants. Followed by warm up exercise and art activities tailored to explore their inner worlds, participants can then proceed to interact with group members and respective therapists to talk about their personal discoveries.
They will learn tips and tricks to self-care using art, followed by Q and A about art psychotherapy.
