What changes to our practice when we go BIG? Artists with some printmaking experience are encouraged to enroll in PrintBIG workshops, a series of workshops exploring how working large
changes our relationship to making prints. PrintBIG workshop artists will be among artists invited to participate in a Fall 2025 Arts Council print-focused exhibition.
This workshop expands on your knowledge of relief printmaking and image-making and encourages you to think BIG! Artists enrolled in PrintBig Linocut will develop a 12x18” linocut for black and white printmaking. Exploring mark-making using traditional and non-traditional tools, we’ll develop skills towards working and printing large relief prints! Enrolled artists will be emailed a small list of items and images to provide closer to the start of this workshop. Experience strongly suggested.
