North Sydney Council’s Ridge Street Studio artists, Olivia Arnold and Millie Mitchell, will facilitate a full-day art making workshop at the Stanton Library. The experienced printmakers will facilitate a hands-on workshop engaging with printmaking and drawing techniques and the creation of artist books.

Participants will be invited to respond to the surrounding environment through a brief walk around the local area, to collect images and natural materials. Based on demonstrations by Olivia and Millie, participants will employ drawing, paper plate etching, image transfer and embossing techniques to develop their pages.

After a lunch break participants will be introduced to the Japanese book binding method to create their unique artist books to take home.
