PRINTMAKING IN THE PARK Saturday, July 16, 2022, 1 to 3pm (Rain or shine)
Trolley Station Picnic Pavilion, Britannia Park
Sponsored by Ottawa-Gatineau Printmakers Connective and Ottawa Makerspace Hack613
Free but pre-registration is requested.
Printmaking in the Park is about making the art of hand-pulled printmaking more accessible to printmakers and the broader public. The labour-intensive cutting of relief plates of wood and linoleum can be challenging for many printmakers. A CNC machine can be used to transfer the artist’s vision to a plate that can still be hand pulled. Under cover of the Trolley Station Picnic Pavilion located at Britannia Beach, Darcy White and Doug Commons of Hack613 will demonstrate how the CNC machine can be used to cut relief plates for making hand-pulled prints. Members of the Ottawa-Gatineau Printmakers Connective will demonstrate and discuss various aspects of hand-pulled printmaking.
The Trolley Station Picnic Pavilion is booked from 12-5 PM. It is a large space that can accommodate 50 or more people. Please feel free to invite friends and family. Come early or stay later and make it a picnic! Bring your own picnic lunch and beverages or pick up lunch at the nearby Baja Burger Shack at Britannia Beach. Lots of free parking is available and Britannia Park is served by the 51 Britannia bus line. You can bring lawn chairs and lawn games if you like.
We will follow any applicable federal, provincial and municipal COVID guidelines in effect at the time of the event. Please do not come if you are sick or test positive and wear a mask if you are in close proximity to others.
We hope to see you there!
