SPARK 1
Carving Tomorrow: An Imagine Galashiels Linocut FREE Workshop with Emma Whigham
What does the future hold for Galashiels? Join us for a collaborative printmaking
workshop where we'll carve our collective vision into reality, one letter at a time.
Together, we'll create the word IMAGINE! through decorative linocut letters that will
become a banner hung in our window – letting our message of possibility spill out
onto the streets for all to see.
This isn' t just about making art; it's about making space for big dreams and bold conversations about what Galashiels could become.
What You'll Do:
Each participant will choose one letter from IMAGINE! to transform
into their own unique design. You'll decorate your chosen letter with patterns,
textures, and imagery that speaks to your vision for our town's future. After
transferring your design, you'll carve it into the lino block and print it onto paper –
creating something beautiful whilst engaging in inspiring conversations about
community, creativity, and change.
What You'll Take Home:
Your carved lino block and at least one printed letter, as well as contributing to a piece of collaborative public art that will brighten our streets and spark conversations about Galashiels potential.
No previous printmaking experience necessary – just bring your imagination and
your hopes for what our town could be.
