SUMMARY:What the Stencil?!
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop:\nAre you interested in printmaking techniques that use photo-processes and stencils\, but want to branch away from digital image-making?\nThis workshop will get you creating stencils with your hands\, and thinking about image-development for your photolitho/silkscreen/cyanotype practice in a new\, tactile way.\nSo come prepared to say goodbye to half-tones and endless photoshop editing. Instead\, you’ll learn to use hands-on methods to translate textures\, drawings\, and other materials into intricate printmaking imagery.\nWith demonstrations and guidance from the instructor\, participants will spend the first week experimenting with a range of techniques\, and the second week diving deeper into their preferred methods to create their own stencils that can be used in upcoming printmaking projects.\nSome familiarity with how stencils work in one or more printmaking techniques is recommended but not required.  \nWhat you’ll learn: ​​​​\n\nA brief overview of how stencils are used in various printmaking methods.\nDemonstrations using a variety of drawing\, painting\, and transfer techniques to develop stencils on transparent sheets including mylar\, tracing paper\, and washi paper. \nMethods for creating stencils that use the surface texture of objects and materials (including but not limited to fabric\, wood grain\, and botanicals). \nTroubleshooting considerations.\nConsultation and guidance for participants based on their own project ideas.\n\n\nAbout the instructor:\nTracy Wormsbecker (she/her) is an arts administrator and printmaker living in Mohkinstsis/Calgary.  She earned her BFA in printmaking from the University of Calgary\, where she began experimenting with non-digital methods of printing and hasn’t stopped since.  \nTracy wears many hats and spends her time maintaining a casual arts practice\, working as the Executive Director of A/P\, chasing after her two adorable children (and more recently\, a new puppy)\, and making artwork when she finds the time.\n \n\nWorkshop Fee\n$135.00* prices not subject to GST \n*Access to using the A/P studio equipment\, including as a workshop participant\, requires an A/P membership. Annual memberships are $30 and $10 for current students and current recipients of AISH. Membership fees can be applied directly to your workshop registration. \nAdditional Notes: \n\nClass limited to 8 Participants\nAdults 18+ Years Old\n\n\nCode of Conduct:\nTo support an environment which promotes dignity and respect to all\, no form of intimidation\, bullying or harassment will be tolerated. Should this type of behaviour occur\, the A/P host and/or instructor reserves the right to remove any individuals from the workshop. \nAccommodation & Diversity:\nPlease inform A/P of any accessibility barrier(s) that may prevent you from getting the full benefit of participating in this program. A/P will respond to any requests in a timely manner and will work to support you within our capacity. \nA/P is committed to diversity and equality to all in employment\, volunteerism and contractors irrespective of their gender\, race\, ethnic origin\, disability\, age\, nationality\, national origin\, sexuality\, religion or belief\, marital status and social class. \nCancellation Policy:\nIf you have registered for an in-studio class or workshop at A/P but are unable to attend\, we require that you notify us as soon as possible\, and no later than 7 days before the class or workshop to receive a full refund. Registrants who cancel with 6 days or less notice will receive 50% of their registration fee.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk & Opening Reception with Anna Gaby-Trotz
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Opening Reception to celebrate Baseline by Anna Gaby-Trotz\nAnna Gaby-Trotz will be in attendance\, and will be providing an in-person artist talk during this opening reception to celebrate her exhibition: Baseline. \nLight refreshments will be provided. \nThe Artist Talk will begin at 7pm\, followed by the reception until 9pm. \nThis event is FREE and all are welcome. \n\nAbout the Exhibition:\nShifting baseline syndrome is an acclimatization to one’s surroundings. In 1995\, Daniel Pauly used this term to reference fisheries and the environment. In regards to climate change\, it means that each generation adapts to its current environment and defines a new baseline. As extreme weather\, fires\, floods and droughts become commonplace\, forthcoming generations will know this as the reality and may have little understanding that the world was and could be different. \nThis installation features a collection of images gathered while examining the changing climate through the North West Passage. These waters – situated between Kugluktuk\, Nunavut and Greenland – have a deep history of colonial conquest and now\, once impassable due to ice\, are open to commercial passage\, mining of resources\, and military access.  \nOver a decade has passed since this journey\, and the situation has only worsened. The Arctic is melting twice as fast as anywhere else on the planet\, which has an immense impact on the communities and ecosystems that rely on this land and water. As I travelled through this landscape\, I was struck by the lack of ice.  Days passed\, and the water was still open. Then the first iceberg floated onto the horizon. It was almost the size of our ship. How long did it last before being absorbed into the ocean? Will future generations know a diverse environment with sea and glacial ice? How is the opening up of this once closed passage going to change our world?  \nBaseline is an attempt to shift this narrative: to challenge us to change\, to listen\, to act. \nI would like to acknowledge that the lands depicted in these images are not my home. This land and water belong to the Inuit people of Canada and Greenland. I am grateful to have been welcomed into their homelands and acknowledge the problematic nature of being a settler within this space. Climate change impacts us all\, but not all equally. \nAnna Gaby-Trotz (she/her) is a printmaker and photographer whose work critically explores social issues\, identity\, and the natural environment. With an MFA in Printmaking from The University of Alberta\, her practice centers on the transformative power of art\, particularly in creating inclusive spaces for marginalized communities. Anna has worked on significant community projects\, such as Be Our Ally with Sheatre\, addressing homophobia among rural youth. She also founded The Queer Print Project at The University of Guelph\, where she teaches screen printing and fosters a supportive\, creative environment for queer artists.  \nFrom 2015 to 2021\, Anna served as Technical Director at Open Studio in Toronto\, where she initiated a North/South Printmaking Residency with The West Baffin Cooperative and has overseen numerous creative projects with national and international artists. Anna’s work Baseline was shown at Open Studio in Toronto. Her recent collaboration with Richelle Forsey\, The Landscape is Dead was featured at the CAFKA25 Biennale. Anna co-curated the show Queer Print Project: Body Language at the Art Gallery of Guelph. Her work is in collections including The University of Alberta\, The Edmonton Arts Council and Open Studio. Anna has taught at The University of Alberta\, The Ontario College of Art and Design University and is currently an Assistant Professor in Studio Art at The University of Guelph. \n\nVisitor Information:\nNew to the A/P space? Welcome! \nHere’s a helpful guide to visiting the A/P Gallery\, Studio\, and Events \n  \nHours and Location: \nA/P Main Gallery Hours: Wednesday from 10am – 5pm; Thursday – Saturday from 10am – 5pm (closed Sunday\, Monday\, and Tuesday) \n  \nAccessibility:  \nA/P is located near the 39th Ave. C-Train Station and has free parking stalls located in front of the building\, as well as street parking nearby.  \nThere is an access ramp at the east end of the building (near the Hitch Shop)\, and A/P is equipped with an accessible gender neutral washroom. \nWe do our best to accommodate the needs of our visitors whenever possible. \nWe welcome your questions and are committed to working with our members and guests to have a great visit when you are here! \n\n  \nInclusivity and code of conduct: \nA/P’s cultivates an inclusive and collaborative environment to learn about printmaking\, to create printed works\, and to pursue exciting artistic opportunities. \nA/P operates by a code of conduct with an expectation of promoting dignity and respect to all\, and we prioritize individual and community safety.  Any form discriminatory behaviour\, intimidation\, bullying\, harassment or victimization is not tolerated.

SUMMARY:Adding Hype to Cyanotype!
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop:\nAre you curious about cyanotype and wondering what you can do with this magical medium? \nIn this workshop you will not only learn the basics of preparing\, exposing and developing your own cyanotypes\, but how to take them several steps further through toning\, bleaching\, and multiple exposures. \nDuring the first day of the workshop\, you’ll prepare cyanotype solution before applying it to paper\, and then expose your imagery using both the sun and exposure unit equipment to create several of your own prints. \nThen\, using dye baths and registration strategies for multiple exposures\, you’ll move beyond the quintessential cyanotype blue to achieve rich browns\, reds\, yellows\, and even some colour combinations on the same print! \nParticipants will gain the know-how and confidence to continue their cyanotype journey both at home or in a studio environment. \nWhat you’ll learn: ​​​​\n\nAn overview of the process’s origins and how it works\nPreparing cyanotype solution\nApplying cyanotype solution to paper\nVarious exposure techniques using both photographic negatives and other materials for image-development\nDeveloping the exposed image\nToning exposed cyanotype images to produce different colours\nDouble exposures and considerations for image-registration\n\n\nAbout the instructor:\nTracy Wormsbecker (she/her) is an arts administrator and printmaker living in Mohkinstsis/Calgary.

SUMMARY:Etching with BIG
DESCRIPTION:In this 2-weekend workshop\, Kate is delighted to share tips and methods of working with this versatile etching ground developed by Andrew Baldwin of Trefeglwys Studio in Wales. Participants will explore multiple methods to create line\, tone and texture\, etching on copper.  Then they’ll dive into printing their plates with colour\, using multiple approaches such as à la poupé\, viscosity\, as well as introducing blends with a tonal image. Students having prior experience with etching is recommended in this workshop. \nBaldwin Intaglio Ground or B.I.G. is an alternative to traditional solvent-based etching grounds\, having all qualities etchers know and love about hard ground\, soft ground and aquatint — minus the VOC’s.  Plus it’s super-easy to use! \n \nWhat you’ll learn: ​​​​\n\nExploring products and practices for a safe and sustainable printmaking studio\nUsing B.I.G. as a hard ground and soft ground\nUsing Coffee Lift as a Sugar Lift alternative\nUsing Aquatint techniques\nEtching copper using Ferric Chloride\nOperating our Studio presses\nExploring colour printmaking methods\, as we print copper plate etchings made during workshop\n\n  \nAbout the instructor:\nHaving a huge curiosity with Intaglio printmaking\, Kate revels in the discoveries which come through etching with B.I.G.  Over the past three years Kate has had the privilege to work with Andrew Baldwin\, travelling to Trefeglwys Studio in Wales to take a workshop with Andrew in 2023\, and assisting Andrew in two workshops in western Canada in 2025.
