About
In an outdoor setting deep in the woods of Muskoka have fun creating beautiful one of a kind prints from woodblocks. This is an activity suitable for all ages. Surprised by what you create you will want to frame some of your numerous creations.
Most artists come away with at least 10 colourful prints.
So you are welcome here to let the artist in you shine.
Organizer
Krysia Bower, Artist
As an artist, i believe that all of us are creators and it sometimes takes just a simple easy technique to allow our creativity to shine through.
As a printmaker, I carve my own woodblocks. In an untraditional format, I apply all the colours on the block at one time and then print the final copy. The result is bold, vibrant colours that result in one of a kind prints.
This technique is user friendly. Children as young as kindergarten and adults have created beautiful prints from the blocks that i have carved. Nothing feels better than hearing the word "WOW" from people who have previously believed that they could not create "art". That happens in all my workshops.
