Hand Made Marks: Exploring Gesture with Inks

Inspired by the current exhibition in the gallery, we’ll explore gestural abstract art by creating our own mark-making tools from a variety of materials. Participants will experiment with different types of ink, including making their own natural inks, and use their handmade tools to investigate the connection between the body, movement, and abstraction through pattern, texture, and colour.
Suitable for all skill levels. Note the gallery will be closed to the public during the workshop. All materials will be supplied.
Cost: $45. Register by phone at 604-925-7270 (course #200984) or use the online registration link.
