GPAG: Natural Woodblock Printing Workshop with David Martinello

Entry to this event is by donation and it is open to all, no preregistration required. Join us for this fun, hands on workshop with exhibiting artist David Martinello!

Inspired by the prints in his exhibition Conversing Gestures, participants will make rubbings of a woodblock with raised grain, which will be the foundation for a gestural response. The exercise will be framed with an assessment of the cedar, to discuss its importance to Indigenous peoples and ask participants to consider the legacy of the wood by describing the path taken for the woodblock to be in their hands. We’ll engage with the nature of wood to create art and connections to the landscape.
