A event held at Spike Island on Saturday 11th January. The event starts at 11:00.
Drawing on Spike Island’s current exhibition, Sophia Al-Maria and Lydia Ourahmane: Grey Unpleasant Land, artist Elliot Steele leads a drop-in printmaking workshop.
Participants are invited to reflect on the themes, stories and artworks featured in the exhibition, creating unique interpretations through the process of monoprint.
Experiment with mark-making, layering, stencilling and composition to produce a unique, one-off print using this immediate and hands-on technique.
You can drop-in any time throughout the session and stay for as long as you wish. All materials are provided, and the workshop is open to all ages and abilities.
Please note: this event was rescheduled from 7 December 2024.
I AM MAKING ART
These regular activity sessions are led by artists and visual practitioners. Visitors of all ages and abilities can try out new techniques and approaches to making art, from drawing and painting to collage, sculpture and animation. All materials are provided.
ELLIOT STEELE
Elliot Steele is an artist and printmaker, specialising in letterpress and monotype processes. With a keen eye for form and an insatiable curiosity for the interplay between letters and visuals, his work is an exploration of language and imagery.
Steele’s practice deviates away from the traditions of letterpress and typography, by manipulating single letters, words, and sentences, he crafts compositions that dance between abstraction and representation, offering viewers an individual viewpoint.
Steele has a degree in Illustration from Middlesex University, and a master’s degree in Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking from UWE Bristol. Complementing his artistic pursuits, he has shared his expertise as a Printmaking technician at Spike Print Studio, and currently serves as a freelance Printmaking tutor and art technician.
