Registration required
Printing of foliage and natural objects. Stamps made from recycled materials (cardboard, bubble wrap, bottle caps, etc.) and potato printing.
Participants are introduced to printing with fresh or dried fruits, vegetables, and plants from the surrounding nature, on paper and fabrics. This approach highlights natural patterns and textures, sometimes random or repetitive, and allows participants to explore the principle of multiple printing, creating rich and deep compositions.
The potato printing technique involves carving shapes in relief or hollow in potatoes (often cut in half), to use them as stamps once dipped in paint or ink. Then, gluing recycled materials allows for exploring textures and shapes, using everyday recycled objects like packaging, caps, or nets.
Foam board engraving
The activities continue with foam board engraving, using either special or recycled sheets. The children experiment with carving and color printing, create figurative or abstract images, and make original compositions by cutting and pasting the sheets and prints.
All participants will have the opportunity to explore their creativity, develop their artistic skills, and most importantly… have fun in an inspiring and supportive environment.
Online registration is required to reserve your spot.
A creative adventure not to be missed!
