“Linocut Memoryscapes”

Join us to learn how to create your own linocut prints with visiting American artist Joanna Pottle. During the meeting, led by Joanna, the technique of linocut will be demonstrated along with optional thematic prompts related to the visiting artist’s work and research such as the concept of a ‘Memoryscape.’ Additionally, participants get to go home with their own edition of prints as well as the option to print on a tote bag or t-shirts (we encourage you to bring some with you). No prior experience in linocut or printmaking required to attend.

Registration is accepted via the form: https://forms.gle/dD9iiDdZxTyLEqcE6

Please book your dates several days in advance. The condition for participation in the workshops is to receive a return email from Galeria Arsenal confirming acceptance of the application. Materials are provided and participation in the workshop is free. Due to the limited number of places, the order of applications is decisive. Please register for the workshop carefully and, if you cancel, let us know as soon as possible. This will allow us to invite people from the reserve list.
