Voress Museum-Colourful horizons: printmaking workshop (65+)

Workshop for ages 65+

Through an introduction to the work of printmaker Tonia Nikolaidi, we will explore the concept of abstraction, drawing inspiration from nature and landscape painting. By creating printmaking compositions through cutting, assembling shapes and engraving, we will investigate the relationships between colour fields and textures, the concepts of depth and the horizon, as well as the unique qualities offered by different types of paper and embossed elements.
