Elephant Grass Printmakers’ Society (EGPS) is hitting the road! Bringing printmaking and its possibilities directly to neighbouring communities in Annapolis County with a project called Living Histories & Storied Places.
Like many arts organizations, EGPS is re-imagining its role in the community beyond providing a space for artists to make their work. We want to find ways to bring members of diverse communities together, share our experiences, and shape these into art. This relationship-building project gives us the opportunity to transform individual artist connections with nearby communities into deeper connections with the larger EGPS group. We believe a free printmaking workshop (with snacks!) is the perfect way.
Each gathering , EGPS will come together in a community space, provide tea and snacks, two hours of printmaking instruction and play, and an hour for chatting and brainstorming future projects and prospects with participants. A final session on letterpress printing will be held at the EGPS studio in Annapolis Royal for anyone who wishes to participate, using equipment that's less portable, like metal type, antique advertising and other images, and the platen press used to print from these materials.
The first two gatherings are already on the calendar, and stay tuned for dates leading up to our December event at the Elephant Grass Printmakers space in Annapolis Royal. This project is supported by Arts Nova Scotia's Artists in Communities program.
