Workshops and Round Table
Garden Print Fest is a Printmaking Festival and a joint project by four women, artists and printmakers based in Berlin. Join us for a weekend exchanging knowledge and community building around our common love of print.
What’s happening this weekend?
Saturday, 2 workshops:
Make you own Paper 10:00 - 13:00 - with Zahra Topping
Why throw paper packaging away when it can be transformed into beautiful hand-crafted paper? In this hands-on workshop, Zahra will show us how empty bags of flour, letters and even old receipts can be up-cycled to make new paper. We'll also experiment with adding natural colour, e.g. turmeric and more.
Outdoor Engraving 14:00 - 17:00 - with Hadass Gilboa
Create postcard like prints inspired by the natural and urban surroundings of our studio. We will use re-purposed TetraPack and recycled plastics to engrave our designs directly from observation, cut and print on paper with our Intaglio press
At 19:00 we clear the tables, bring some drinks and gather outside for a Round Table discussion, meeting our printmaking community in Berlin and discussion further projects and meet ups.
Sunday, 2 workshops
Letterpress 10:00 - 13:00 with Sabrina Sundermann
Wir lassen uns vom Garten inspirieren und gestalten farbenfrohe Drucke. Dafür kombinieren wir Monotypie und Letterpress; wir zeichnen Formen, drucken Strukturen und setzen Buchstaben zu Mustern zusammen. Die entstandenen Drucke fügen wir am Schluß zu einer Collage zusammen.
Nature Printing 14:00 - 17:00 with Julia Herfurth
We will collect plants from the garden, ink them and print directly on paper/ tote bags and T-shirts. A printmaking press will be set up in the garden as well as clotheslines to dry our prints outside. Join for a 3 hour workshop and expect to get some ink on your fingers!
