Introduction
To celebrate the Print Council of Australia’s 50 Years in 2016, Art Quill Studio in Arcadia Vale, NSW, Australia will be holding a series of workshops during 2016 tutored by Marie-Therese Wisniowski. The workshops have been structured so that they can be attended as individual workshops or as an on-going series. The workshop program will start with basic printmaking techniques and advance to mastering complex multiple imaging/overprinting relationships and techniques. The techniques are suitable for printing on fabric and paper substrates.

Today's post highlights participants outcomes from Workshop No. 4 in the 2016 Art Quill Studio Workshop Program - In Pursuit of: Improvisational Screen Printing - and gives links to workshops so that you can view past students outcomes (see above links). For Australian enquiries please email me at Marie-Therese. For overseas enquiries these workshops may be held in overseas venues provided that there are enough participants per workshop (10-15 participants) and that within each country a sufficient number of workshops can be organized in order to make the journey cost-effective (5-10 workshops). Please email me at Marie-Therese to initiate a discussion on the feasibility of such an overseas venture.

In person Master Classes are also available. For more details of these Master Classes email me at Marie-Therese. For Master Class outcomes see - Barbara Scott. On-line classes will be available in 2017.


Two Day Workshop Synopsis - In Pursuit of: Improvisational Screen Printing Workshop
The two day "In Pursuit of: Improvisational Screen Printing Workshop" was held at Art Quill Studio in Arcadia Vale, NSW, Australia on the 4th and 5th July 2016.

In this two day workshop participants learnt to use the silkscreen in a non-traditional, exciting, improvisational manner. Using everyday, easily accessible materials, like interfacing, aquarelle crayons and other mediums, temporary and semi-permanent image creation techniques were explored using the silkscreen. Some prior experience using a silk screen was recommended for this class.

Below are outputs created during the workshop by participant/quilt artist Judi Nikoleski.
