Under Pressure – Make Pressure Prints with Jerushia
Take paper collage to the press to create soft ethereal prints.
Pressure prints are a quick low-tech way to create imagery and atmosphere. The subtle variation in the paper height of a layered collage creates changes in the pressure when cranked through a press. These changes in pressure create differing intensities of value and are what give the Pressure Print technique its name.
Participants are invited to cut and paste paper then crank it through the press to create their own unique postcard-sized impressions in this workshop for all skill levels.
The workshop will be held in English. The workshop is intended for adults, but please contact us for questions about participation.
Time: Thursday 15th August 2024, 16:00 – 18:00
Location: Norske Grafikeres Gallery, Tollbugata 24, Oslo
