About this Event

in the Tuey Art Studio at the Gibson Art Museum and outdoors.
Free with registration. For 12 yrs and up. Limited space. All materials provided.
Registration closes Friday, March 27.
In this workshop, we will use printmaking and collaging to explore the different surfaces and shapes of Burnaby Mountain. While exploring indoor and outdoor locations, we’ll use methods such as pastel rubbings, clay imprints, and tracing on paper to collect impressions of textures and patterns we notice in our environment.
Back in the studio, we’ll experiment with printmaking, using some of our collected impressions and found materials.
Finally, we’ll transform these elements into a collage of an imagined or remembered place, taking inspiration from works currently on view at the museum. Participants will leave with a finished or in-progress collage, and a collection of materials to use in continued explorations.

They are interested in how art can enable forms of attention that disrupt our sense of the usual and open spaces of possibility, presence, and co-creation. Recently, Liz’s performance, installation, and puppetry designs have appeared in Vancouver at the SUM Gallery, Vines Festival, Audain Gallery, SFU’s School for the Contemporary Arts, What Lab, and Playwrights Theatre Centre. Liz is currently the Art Studio Lead at the Gibson Art Museum. They are also an artist-in-residence in Vancouver schools with the AIRS program and an educator at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Liz resides Vancouver on the unceded traditional territories of the xwməθkwəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
