Adult South Asian Blockprint Workshop
To celebrate South Asian Heritage Month, I ran several workshops exploring South Asian art and design, with a hands-on block printing workshop. Participants explored the rich artistic heritage of South Asia through the use of authentic Indian woodblocks, with timeless motifs such as paisleys, florals, mandalas, and peacocks.
In addition to block printing, adult participants got the opportunity to design and carve their own lino-cut motifs, creating a personalised stamp to use and take home for future projects. This added component allows for deeper artistic expression and a fuller understanding of the printmaking process from design to execution. Each participant went home with their own hand-printed scarf and a deep appreciation of South Asian art and printmaking.
Border Light: Opening Woodblock Workshop
Border Light: Where Cultures Meet and Radiate installation, I held a workshop where participants were able to decorate a tote bag with traditional indian woodblock and take them home. It was open to kids and adults decorating their bags in an indivual design using South Asian motifs.
