Description
On July 24th at 2pm learn about Screen Printing with Spark Box Studios at the Allan Macpherson House in Napanee. Watch as artists Chrissy Poitras and Kyle Topping walk you through the process of screen printing. Screen printing is a century old process that can be used to print on almost anything - textiles, paper, metal, ceramics, glass, etc. This demonstration will showcase the steps of working with this versatile printing process with examples of each stage and end products. Prints made during the demonstration will be free for visitors to take and some may even get to try their hand at printing themselves! Since 2009, Chrissy Poitras and Kyle Topping have been hosting a vibrant community artist residency and printmaking studio in their rural Ontario farmhouse. Spark Box Studio has welcomed over 350 visiting artists from around the world who have come to find time and space away from their routines to focus on a variety of arts ranging from painting and poetry, to music and film. Both are graduates of the Queen’s University Bachelor of Fine Art Studio Program. Both are practicing artists working in painting and printmaking. Through their positions at Spark Box Studio, and as a former professors in the Art and Design Foundations Program at Loyalist College, Poitras and Topping have organized, developed and run courses on a variety of studio arts and arts management topics. Admission is free! For more information visit www.CountyMuseum.ca.
