Day One of our Workshop 2015

Here we are again. Today was our first day of my printmaking workshop and we started off strong with nine participants. Six are from two different communities further away and travelled into town specifically for this workshop. There were three new participants today who started with small test plates. Romero made a small edition of Ñandú (ostrich) cards. This is his first woodcut ever:

Some of the returning artists started right away on an elaborate larger piece, like Clemente for example (see below). Most also brought their carving tools and brayers along that I had handed out two years ago. Overall we're off to a strong start. I'm super curious to see what wonderful work the artists will make this year. More in the days to come.
