Making Your Mark Workshop

  • Bailey Contemporary Arts 41 Northeast 1st Street Pompano Beach, FL, 33060 United States (map)

This workshop is taught by artist Rebeka Burns, is beginner friendly and open to all! At least 50% of workshop space is reserved for artists with disabilities. Fast, flexible, and adaptive portable approaches for building and printing images will be explored as tools for documentation, social commentary, and community-building. Participants will work together to create a series of large-scale collaborative prints, and a print to take home.

The workshop will begin with a discussion of contemporary works that use printmaking as a tool for political and social activism, and a demonstration of simple monoprint, collagraph, and relief techniques. All of the techniques learned can be completed indoors or out, without a printing press and using only a small set of easy-to-transport tools.
