Collaborative Printmaking Workshops
Dian with Gloria Mengil
at Northern Editions
A collaborative printmaking workshop involves a group of artists working with a professional printmaker with the view to creating new work. During the workshop the artists will work with the printmaker to create plates or blocks, and various colour combinations of the plates will be printed. These plates can later be editioned and offered for sale by the artist or their representative. No previous printmaking experience is necessary as artists are assisted by the printmaker.
Educational Workshops
TAFE Printmaking Workshop in Weipa
The focus of an educational workshop is to educate and empower the participating artists to be able to print their own prints.This type of workshop is less likely to result in finished artwork, but is a step towards building skills and enabling artists to become self sufficient with working in print mediums.
Editioning Services
Prints by Kassandra Savage in the drying rack
Editioning is the process of printing a set number of prints from a plate or block. These prints are numbered as part of the whole edition e.g. 1/30 signifies the first print of an edition of 30 prints. The prints are also titled and signed by the artist.
Firebox Print Studio can edition prints that are made during collaborative or educational workshops and can also edition plates that have been made by artists outside of workshops.
