Frottage: Graphite rubbings from Paper Stencils - Free Workshop

FREE EVENT

As part of the Studio Holder exhibition 'Process and Practice' at West Yorkshire Print Workshop, Jenny Thomas will be running a FREE drop in workshop in the Gallery.

Jenny has been a studio holder at The West Yorkshire Print Workshop for over 14 years.

"I have made a collection of images of building types, from field barns to warehouses, bungalows, town houses and tower blocks.The buildings are assembled together in a variety of ways to make imaginary towns. I use the processes of linocut and woodcut, and print the blocks either with a platen press, or hand burnish using a baren and a boxwood modelling tool. I have also used the ‘frottage’ technique (a rubbing) using a graphite stick.

The blocks are all mounted onto plywood to make them easy to handle, and turn them into objects themselves, rather than being the vehicle for a print."

The exhibition and events exist thanks to the 'Grant for the Arts' Lottery & public funding awarded to our WYPW Artists by Arts Council England.

Friday, 6 May 2016 from 13:00 to 16:00
