Instructor: Tricia Rawlins
Many believe printmaking is difficult, highly technical, and requires special equipment. However, when looked at differently, printmaking can be simple, use everyday materials, and be playful and experimental. In this course, students will learn how common items such as vegetables, Styrofoam and erasers can be used for the creation of printed works of art. This course will involve demos of block printing and stamping and allow students the time to explore forms of printmaking that draw inspiration from domestic space, and can be done easily at home. Students will build confidence in printmaking techniques while gaining greater understanding of the elements of art.
About the Instructor: After studying Art and Art History at University of Toronto concurrently with Sheridan College, involvement in the Arts became a hobby. In recent years, Tricia felt pulled to return to making art. Since being involved with the AGB she decided that Printmaking is where she belongs and is excited to share this passion.
