ecoart lithography.

This two-day Ecoart Lithography workshop delivered a new creative course that introduced participants to the Eskdale Reserve, Birkdale and was guided by Kaipatiki Project's Neil Henderson, to:

• Learn about  local ecology 

• Practice a new drawing technique 

• Discover lithography printing through tactile drawing methods​

 

Day 1 Neil guided us through the reserve and we made tree rubbings onto different kinds of paper

Day 2 John at Auckland Print Studios helped us transform our rubbings into fine art prints 

​

This course helped people without art training to physically learn from and engage with the environment through exciting art-making processes. The transfer of drawings to the stone and subsequent printing process was guided by acclaimed print maker John Pusateri (Auckland Print Studio). This course provided a rare opportunity to engage with an intriguing fine art printing process led by an expert printmaker.
