Print it 1

Print workshop with John Abell and Paul Eastwood

The workshop will start at BayArt with a tour round the current show 'Dim ond Geiriau (ydi iaith) (A language is) Only Words'. Both John Abell and Paul Eastwood have works in the exhibition and will use these as starting points for the workshop. Both artists are bilingual and language will occupy a central role within the workshop.

You will learn about a range of printing techniques and will be given the materials to develop your own prints. The workshop will provide a number of simple starting points for starting your own work - outside of a print studio -which will include block and relief printing.

All ages welcome.
