The first half of the week will be spent drawing native plants in situ (on site) near the village of Capileira Spain. After a mid-week field trip to see Spanish tilework, we’ll spend the second half of the week in the studio or it’s gardens to develop a tile design [or a design of your choice] from your drawings. We’ll transfer this design to a linoleum plate, carve it and print it. Everything will be taught step-by-step so if you aren’t familiar with drawing plants, design, or printmaking you will be by the end of this workshop!
