Enjoy a weekend of printmaking at the historic Old Oak Hotel, Mangonui, in the beautiful Far North
Learn the basics of making collagraphs, an accessible printmaking technique that uses all manner of materials to make a collage that is used as a printing plate. Leaves, fabric, paper, modeling paste, sand, and many other materials can be used. We will experiment with different methods of preparing plates, and try inking up using both intaglio and relief printing techniques. A course outline will be provided beforehand to help you prepare for two full days of creativity! No experience is necessary.
The Old Oak Hotel is located on the waterfront in the village of Mangonui in the beautiful Far North. This cosy hotel is a listed heritage building, built in 1861. The workshop will be conducted on site in the newly renovated meeting house. It is a 5-minute stroll along the waterfront to the village shops and cafes.
