Are you someone who loves exploring different art mediums? Do you enjoy etching on metal plates and turning your designs into stunning works of art? Or someone who just loves art and curious to find out and learn what actually printmaking is all about?
If yes, then this printmaking workshop led by Saurganga Darshandhari — a visual, performance, installation artist, and printmaker based in Kathmandu — is just right for you!
Over the course of three days, you’ll get hands-on experience with traditional printmaking techniques. You’ll learn how to incise designs onto metal plates, ink them, and print your artwork onto paper. The workshop will cover the basics of etching — from plate preparation and design creation to applying grounds and using the etching press.
This workshop is tied to the ongoing exhibition happening at Taragaon Next, ‘At the Tipping Point’ curated by Dr. Arshiya Lokhandwala and Saurganga is also an exhibiting artists in this exhibition.
