A print workshop with my "Kollective" friends at Halls Gap.
There is a great thrill that I feel still when teaching new skills to others. The Grampians "Kollective" each month runs a morning share workshop where each member has their turn at introducing their area of expertise/their passion to the rest of the group. It was my turn on the Saturday morning 11th may.
"What to offer in the area of printmaking for a half a day?" was a big question.
I asked those members attending to bring along feathers, and leaves and textured papers and I would supply the rest... printing press included.
Sarah's themed leaf prints are featured to the left.

 The Prints |  | Because the prints were small scale, we could place quite a few on the press at once and in this way every participant could get quick results. The "Kollective" has a beautiful light filled workshop at a house and gallery that once belonged to the very respected Halls Gap, Grampians artist, Laurie Evans. |
