Sunday, August 21 from 1:30 – 4 PM
Drop-In Session, 20-30 minute activity
RSVP encouraged but not required
Learn the basics of Cyanotype printmaking in this FREE drop in workshop
The word “linocut” refers to the medium and the action of this printmaking method. “Lino”, short for linoleum, is the material in which an artist may “cut ” into to create a printable image. Using sharp tools to carve away the non printing area of the image, the remaining untouched linoleum will accept ink to then print onto paper. Linoleum and other soft materials can be used for this relief process due to its ease of carving yet resilience against wearing away.
This event is open to the public on a drop in basis at any time between 1:30 and 4 PM. This activity is estimated to take 20 – 30 minutes to complete, but participants are welcome to stay as long as they like or come and go as they please. RSVP is encouraged but not required.
The Friends of Weir Farm recently opened a new outdoor art installation in the park called Art Bears with bear silhouettes that feature contemporary art, including the work of former Artist-in-Residence Alissa Siegal, the instructor for this fun new class perfect for children and families! Students will sketch a Weir Farm scene, then be given their own mini art bears to decorate – just like the 8 artists featured in the outdoor exhibit!
No drop offs. Parents/guardians must remain in the park while the child is participating.
Registration is free, but space is limited, so please call early to secure a spot! To register or for more information, please call 203-834-1896 ext. 28.
