The first of our workshops for 2012 was Kaye Green’s one day Introduction to lithography
none of the participants had ever done lithography before so there was a great deal of anticipation as Kaye explained the various marks and methods of achieving them
and, as soon as they got the chance everyone got started making their own marks (some even working over an old image on a stone which had not been grained)
Kaye explained the importance of correctly etching the stone to get a perfect image for printing
and the right way to roll up the stone
The excitement was palpable at the end of the day as the newbie lithographers tried to work out ways to bring forward the next litho workshop – a good time was had by all. A big thanks to Kaye and to Steph Parkyn our indefatigable workshop co-ordinator.

The 2011 workshop program got off to a great start with Kaye Green’s Deconstruction/reconstruction workshop on Sunday 13 march.
Kaye explained the reasons for her passionate attachment to reworking images into alternate forms such as collages or artist’s books and showed many samples of her own work.
All the participants quickly adapted to this new way of looking at their prints. Working singly or in small groups they started playing around with Kaye’s ideas and by the lunch break we could see exciting new pieces starting to take shape.
Perhaps the outcome is best summed up by one of the artists who said,’I feel that it has opened up a new way of working for me, and a new format. I love the idea of making books in all sorts of ways, re-using old work, and also making new work specifically for book making’
Thanks again Kaye for your inspirational facilitation of this workshop
