Woodcut Workshop, Saturday March 25, 10am-5pm
Spend the day in the printmaking studio with artist-in-residence Nikki Jabbora-Barber. Learn to employ safe relief carving and printing techniques, use inks, and generate original prints pulled by hand. We will be having fun centering imagery of plants, all while carving into the natural fibers of the wood material and transferring the image on to printmaking paper. No need to be ‘good at drawing’ to take this workshop. No experience necessary, and all materials are included. Open to ages 15 and beyond.
Woodcut Workshop with Nikki Jabbora-Barber, Saturday March 25, 10am-5pm
Nikki Jabbora - Barber, a queer Seattle-based printmaker and teaching artist, was born in Bellingham, WA to an Anglo-Swedish father and Lebanese-German mother. She focuses on the way people communicate feelings, culture cues, and emotional safety through symbols (largely depictions of flora and fauna). Nikki balances making and selling her hand-pulled fine art prints; photographing works on paper for Davidson Galleries; and teaching community art classes.
