Image: Ethel Spowers, School is out, 1936

Saturday 11th November. 10 am to 4pm

Ethel Spowers and Eveline Syme were pivotal artists in the emergence of Modernism in Australia. Both studied at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in the 1920’s, prints from this school are remarkable for the movement in the imagery. They were amongst a group of women who were trailblazers when introducing colour linocuts to Australia. A travelling exhibition of their prints has been touring around Australia during the past few years.

Using multi block colour printing this workshop will explore how Ethel and Eveline designed their images to create beautiful movement and colour. Some pre cut blocks will be used and an opportunity to cut and print your own addition to an image will help understand the process.

Suitable to those with lino cutting skills who wish to do some cutting and printing. Also suitable to beginners who wish to learn the beginnings of a complex skill. Option of a simpler task is available for beginners.

All tools, lino, ink and paper supplied for the workshop. You will get to take a print home with you.
