SUMMARY:The Mountie in The Family
DESCRIPTION:About the Exhibition \nMy maternal grandfather was a Mountie. This photo of him on horseback\, dressed in his formal Canadian Mounted Police uniform\, represents such an iconic symbol for Canada. Having passed away in 1995 he would have been 106 years old this year\, as Canada turns 150. This artwork is an investigation into my own identity\, within Canadian culture\, and how my personal view on heritage\, lineage\, and nostalgia have played a part in the formation of this identity. \nArtist Bio: Kenzie Housego has always been drawn to found objects and imagery with a sense of history. Through her art\, she seeks to investigate societal narratives of a romanticized past as well as the narrative of objects. She often highlights contemporary modes of gender roles and beauty by reflecting on the symbolic or iconized within society. Housego holds a BFA in Print Media from the Alberta College of Art and Design and resides in Calgary Alberta.  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Print(ed) Word

SUMMARY:Printmaking Sampler
DESCRIPTION:Want to learn more about the world of printmaking? \nIf you want to give it a go but have no idea where to start\, this workshop is for you! Located off-site at YWCA Calgary in Inglewood\, you will get a hands-on taste of FOUR unique techniques\, including screen printing\, drypoint\, linocut\, and typesetting on a Nolan Proof Press.  Come away with four unique prints! This course is a perfect choice for those beginning in print or want to dabble in different techniques as a lead-up for taking further courses that Alberta Printmakers offers.  \nThis workshop is for folks who are 18 years of age or older.  \nNo experience necessary and all supplies are provided.  \n  \nWhat is printmaking? \nPrintmaking includes a range of processes where ink is transferred from one surface (a matrix) to another (the substrate) to create an image. There are several printmaking techniques\, including silkscreen\, relief\, etching\, relief\, letterpress\,and lithography.  \nPrintmaking has been used for both artistic and commercial purposes for hundreds of years (books\, illustrations\, artworks\, newspapers\, posters\, textiles\, etc)\, and it continues to be a popular and versatile medium for artists who print on various surfaces\, such as paper\, fabric\, wood\, and metal. \n  \nAbout each technique that you’ll learn in this sampler:  \nDrypoint is a process where a sharp\, pointed tool is used to scratch a design into the surface of a matrix (often a copper or plexiglass plate). Ink is then applied to the plate and wiped off so that it remains only in the grooves before transferring the ink onto paper using a printing press that applies substantial pressure.  \nParticipants will create\, ink\, and print their own 4”x6” plexiglass drypoint plate.  \nTypesetting: before digital applications like Microsoft Word or InDesign\, compositions of text (as well as symbols\, fancy decorative ornaments\, and illustrations) were manually arranged and ‘set’ by placing movable physical pieces of ‘type’ onto a letterpress machine. The surface of the composed form is then inked and transferred onto paper.  \nParticipants will work in small groups to compose a line of text using wood type before printing the text using a Nolan Proof Press multiple times.  \nSilkscreen is a process where ink is pressed through the openings of a fine fabric mesh (the screen\, which was traditionally made of silk) onto a flat surface beneath using a squeegee.  Images are made by creating stencils that block some areas of the mesh\, while leaving other areas open for the ink to pass through\, resulting in a printed design.   \nParticipants will design and prepare vinyl stencils that they will attach to a silkscreen to print their own unique compositions onto paper. \nLinocut is a process where the surface of a linoleum plate is carved into using special tools to remove areas of the linoleum. The areas that are not removed result in a raised design. Ink is then applied to the surface design and printed onto paper either through pressure applied by hand or using a printing press.  \nParticipants will each carve and print a 4”x6” linocut plates by hand\, as well as by using a table-top relief press.  \n  \nNo Experience Needed!!!\n  \nWhat’s included with your registration:\n\nA directed drypoint carving\, inking\, and printing session on 4 x 6″ plexiglas plates\nA demonstration on type setting\, followed by collaborating on a composition on the press\nPulling your own prints off the Nolan press with the assistance of staff\nDesigning and printing lino using a 4 x 6″ block\nScreen printing your own design using cut stencils\n\n  \nAll supplies are included! \n  \nEvent Registration Fee\n$125.00 \nprices not subject to GST \n\n  \nThis event includes all project supplies\, participants are recommended to prepare:\n\nImage ideas for drawing and carving\nBring reading glasses if you need them for fine work.\nWear suitable clothing for working with ink and/or a work apron.\nWear close toed shoes and avoid overly loose long sleeves.\nTie back long hair when operating machinery.\nPersonal PPE (if uncomfortable with Shared Studio PPE)\n\n\n  \nAdditional Notes: \n\nEvent limited to 20 Participants\nThis event is open to only participants of 18 years of age\n\n—————————————————————————\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.
