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!

When Copper Meets Wood – Accessories Workshop

Verandah S6C, Staunton Block A

Date & Time

9.12 ( Sun )19:00 - 20:30

Online Registration

The workshop combines sustainable design with object restoration and upcycling. Come and learn about practical carpentry and metalwork skills, and experiment creatively through re-designing and re-using waste materials.

The team believes that the gist of upcycled design is the way it inspires creativity through experimentation of objects that are seemingly useless. Cheong Gor, the craft master from UpCycling Plus, has turned his own vintage cargo bike into a mobile carpentry and metalworking space. Participants will design and create unique accessories from waste and raw materials using practical restoring tools and skills instructed. During the workshop, Cheong Gor will also share about his vintage aesthetics, traditional craftsmanship and modern upcycling design experience with the participants.

“Searching for the blue that belongs to Hong Kong” is the spirit of Small Smile by Sarah.

Starting from 2014, Sarah has been looking for different stories about textile in Hong Kong. Every stitch by the sewing machine, a small string bag or even a double-sided tote bag, the magical blue dye patterns works wonderfully on all materials.

Small Smile by Sarah hopes that happy smile can spread to the faces of those who are engaged in textile dyeing during the magical “Blue Dye” experience.

Creation is keep trying. Failures and setbacks will be encountered, but this is the most unique essence of handcrafted pieces.
