CATHERINE FARISH
A Workshop in Contemporary Printmaking with Catherine Farish
This workshop is an introduction to contemporary printmaking. In other words, we’ll learn how artists are working today. The workshop is open to people at all levels of experience. The only pre-requisites are a desire to explore the world of printmaking and a willingness to get your hands dirty.
We will begin by learning basic techniques such as dry point, collagraphy, carborundum, relief prints and overlaying with different colours. We will then move on to making prints from various materials, stenciling, collaging and making monoprints that incorporate drawing, painting and even digital imagery. The emphasis will be on experimentation. We will look at and discuss examples of prints being made today; large format prints, mixed-media prints and multidisciplinary installations.
Throughout the week and in the company of other artists, the work in the studio is enhanced by local field trips. The countryside around Ballinglen is steeped in history and natural beauty. The rolling farmland, the pre-historic Céide Fields, the majestic Atlantic and dramatic skies will transform the way you see, think and work.
Located in the beautiful and inspiring town of Ballycastle in County Mayo on the west coast of Ireland, this printmaking workshop takes place from the 2nd - 10th August 2023. The cost is $2,100 which includes tuition, shared cottage with private bedroom for 8 nights, lunch/dinner/dessert/tea/coffee, collection/delivery to the bus/train stations in Ballina. Also included is the use of the Ballinglen facilities, art library and an archive collection of over 500 works by international artists who have come on residency to Ballinglen. Participants arrive on the 2nd and depart on the 10th (The workshop is for seven days with arrival and departure day making it nine days). Please contact Una Forde on unaforde.baf@gmail.com for availability and booking form.
