About this Event
Sign up for our short Experimental Print and Mark Making for Artist Teachers workshop series held across four Thursday evenings at HOME hosted by Nina Drake and Caroline Power, Artist Teachers from the Manchester Artist Teachers Collective and Artist Teachers at Loreto High School.
Step into this autumn series of experimental, print and mark-making workshops. These sessions aim to provide a welcoming creative space for artist teachers and visual arts educators to engage with the act of art making using experimental and expressive methods in a supportive and collaborative environment, away from the classroom and expectations of teaching. Whether you are a primary teacher hoping to build your creative confidence, an artist teacher who wants to build a sense of community with others, or you’re simply curious to learn new experimental methods and techniques, this series of workshops is for you.
Over the course of four workshops at HOME, Caroline, Nina and guest artist, Craig Atherton, will encourage teachers to meet and share their connection to their own creative practice, deliver activities that focus on play and releasing your creativity through mark making, expressive mark making and abstract experimentation, simply for the love of the process of creating. You will explore printmaking processes, mark making. Gelli printing, screen printing, collagraph printing and more, all materials are provided.
We hope you will leave with a sense of community and feeling of support with other teachers, feel reinvigorated in your own creativity, and boost your self-belief as an artist through mark making, experimentation and exploration of materials and ideas.
Please note: this workshop takes place over a number of sessions, and signing up to this event will book your place on all four sessions. If you are unable to attend any of the sessions, please let us know in advance.
