Open Studios 3 (Carving & Knotting)
Nautical Knots
With Steven Schreurs
Beautiful knots are part of our maritime history and they're not difficult when you have someone lead the way. "Santa" Steve will show you how to make a coaster or mug rug and once you know how, your ambition is the only limit to the size matt you'll make in the future.
Green Wood Bench Building
With Jim Hsiang
Green woodworking involves using freshly cut wood to build furniture. Green wood is softer and easier to work with than dry wood, making it ideal for hand tools.
Join Jim to design and build a bench, stool, or side table.
Relief Printing Basics
With Katama Murray, (teachpeaceprints)
Dive into an ancient printmaking technique through a basic introduction to the relief printing process! Using linoleum or wood blocks as an image matrix, participants will draw and carve their own designs to explore the creative possibilities within this print medium by printing with a variety of tools and mark making techniques on paper.
Participants will be encouraged to work intuitively by embracing mistakes and releasing perfection, and tuning into the surrounding landscape, patterns, and season for inspiration.Through hand printing or a press, students will create a series of prints to be enjoyed and shared.
