Collage and Small Prints
Workshop with Catherine KernanCollage in Small Prints
Catherine Kernan
July 14-15, 2023
Limited to 8 – SOLD OUT
Two days of pure play to re-cycle/ re-print/ cut and glue using the accumulated material in your studio. Inspired by the many international mini-print competitions, this is a challenge to quickly and spontaneously assemble small scale prints with found materials and printmaking moves to formulate a visual essay.
This could be a warm-up for the next week’s workshop, or a stand-alone workshop.

What’s Included
Too much stuff to list! We will have everything Catherine requested.
Of course ink and paper are also included.
MakingArtSafely is a well stocked and tooled studio.
What to Bring
Bring a spirit of investigation and curiosity. A willingness to be surprised is essential. Bring Old prints, drawings and other interesting materials for tearing, collaging, and reinventing.
I took much of Catherine’s list of what to bring and made that our responsibility to have onhand. Even with that I could not get carving tools (TSA issue) covered in a proper way. If checking luggage is too expensive or cumbersome for you by all means please ship your TSA-less-friendly things to us in advance. Allow 7 business days for assured delivery by Monday of the workshop. Shipping is really a great way to travel light in the age of short plane changes which always seem to be on another concourse from the one you arrive.
That’s it! Any questions about supplies, please feel free to contact us.
