How to Create Linocuts with Joy Lai
September 15 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
The second of our 2024 Linda Dubin Garfield Fellowship exhibition, “Press Change” workshops!
How can the use of repeated images and/or text be used to amplify your message? What are some ways we can use stamps for protest and liberation? Come learn how to carve your stamps using easy to carve Lino-cut. We will have the opportunity to create a collection of stamps to use as a community.
This workshop is open to all! We invite everyone who is interested in diy printmaking methods and making work in community.
On Pressing Change Printmakers and educators Felisa Adderley, Joy Lai and Sofie Rose Seymour pull from their experience in both worlds to examine the ways the act of printmaking intersects with the act of educating — and how both can be tools to share information and amplify movements.
Adderley, Lai and Seymour are the Linda Dubin Garfield fellows at Da Vinci Art Alliance and their exhibition is the product of a year’s work. Over the course of the fellowship, these artists have asked, “How can we empower people to use printmaking to work towards the changes that are so pressing in our world today?”
