Join us in creating unique prints with what we find on the beach!
As part of the exhibition Ekko Ekko, we invite you to a printing workshop. We start the course by collecting organic material from the coast and then make jelly prints from our catch.
Inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's "Urpflanze", we imagine together what organisms in the unexplored depths of the sea can look like. Jelly printing is a monotype technique, using a jelly pressure plate. During Ekko Ekko's workshop, we use agar agar (a type of red algae) as a material for the printing plate as well as botanical printing ink made from e.g. spirulina (a type of blue-green algae) and charcoal.
The process is environmentally friendly. You will be given recipes and instructions, and will have the opportunity to make prints that can either be part of the exhibition or you can take them home. Possibility of drop-in, subject to us starting the course outdoors.
