Printmaking Fundraiser

Get ready for a fun and creative day at our festive Printmaking Fundraiser. Dive into the world of prints, meet fellow art lovers, and support a great cause. Whether you’re a pro or just curious, there’s something for everyone. Don’t miss out on this wonderful chance to create a stunning Christmas card, a Christmas present for a loved one, or a festive print for yourself, and make a difference whilst doing so! Every ticket sold for this fundraiser will go mostly towards our weekly 'Thursday Art Group' which incorporates printmaking as one of the art techniques. This group relies on optional donations on a termly basis, and is for everyone, no matter their background. At St Vincent's Brixton we target vulnerable and disadvantaged local communities, including refugees and asylum seekers, low-income families, people with SEND, and people who are homeless. Any remaining money raised will go towards the running of other free activities to ensure we continue to reach the needs of the local community.

Info: We will split the group into two, and each group will get the chance to work in a smaller group on a specific technique. One of the printmaking techniques will be 'gelli' in which each member will be shown how to create works of arts using this medium, using gelli plates and stencils. This is a quick process, and examples and trial runs can be done in the timeframe.

Info: One of the two groups will be delivered a lino-printing session, in which each member will be shown how to cut into lino, using designs to follow, and how to use a lino press. This is a slower process, though examples will be given.

Info: We will break for lunch at this time and both groups will be taken upstairs for a lunch of sandwiches, crisps, and fruit.

Info: This is a chance for the second group to swap from lino to gelli, and try a new technique.

Info: This is a chance for the first group to move from lino to gelli, and to try a new technique.
