Come and join us at the Charlton Art Centre, Dover on Saturday 17th October for our drawing extravaganza as part of this years Big Draw event.
We will be exploring the evolution of plants, from their early origins to contemporary leaf forms and shapes that may evolve in the distant future. Participation is free, and materials will be provided for your use. All we ask in return is that you contribute work towards the project.
All artwork will be displayed in the main gallery space through October, as the evolutionary tree develops.
Our first printmaking taster workshop took place Saturday at the Charlton Art Centre, Dover. Visitors were able to experience and explore hand relief-printing techniques, from potato printing, mono-prints and linocuts. There was time to cut some lino blocks, using a selection of tools and environmentally friendly water-based emulsion inks, before pulling a short print edition with a small hand-press designed by German company Abig.
Below are two linocut prints created by John Rufus during the workshop (please click to enlarge).

Sponsored by Dover Town Council, the workshop was one in a series of community workshops being staged by the White Cliffs Creatives Guild in Dover through 2009.
As part of this year Big Draw event, we are running a free printmaking mini-workshop at The Charlton Art Centre, in Dover, on Saturday 10th October from 10.30am until 12.30pm.
Come and sample a range relief-printing tecniques, including woodblocks, monotypes and even printing with the ‘humble’ potato.
Add your work to the Art Centre ‘tree’ as part of our evolutionary forest of leaves. Drawing upon the theme of leaf forms and Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, the exhibit will form the centre piece for our celebration of this years ‘Big Draw’ event throughout October 2009.
