Big Ink! with Lyell Castonguay
October 29, 2022 @ 9:00 am - October 30, 2022 @ 5:00 pm
Toe River Arts and BIG INK present a workshop printing large woodblocks for all levels of skills and interests. Participants will produce woodblock prints that are 24” x 46” and up to 40″ x 96”. BIG INK’s specialty is printing woodblocks carved at a monumental scale.
Participants will include local artists tasked with carving woodblocks in the months leading up to BIG INK’s visit.
No prior experience is required from any of the event participants, BIG INK will provide an online tutorial workshop once you have registered.
Toe River Arts will provide a space, share tools and materials, guidance, and offer an opportunity to build connections. Most of the work can be done at home, however, we hope to gather together to share updates, potential studio tours, and slides. Participants will pay a $175 fee for the workshop event plus the cost of materials needed to make the block, paper and ink will be provided on the day of the workshop.
BIG INK will return to Toe River Arts, Owen Gallery on October 29 & 30, 2022 and work with the group printing each participant’s woodblock. Each participant will leave with three professional-grade prints, rejuvenated inspiration, new skills, and new connections.
Please register by August 22, 2022. If you have any questions contact the Toe River Arts, Community Outreach Coordinator.
