Owt & About Print
OWT & ABOUT PRINT is an initiative supporting people to explore printmaking and make their own prints across County Durham. 6 different kits will circulate between community centres, supported by irregular artist and community-led events.
What’s the big idea?
The project team envision "Owt & About Print" as a sustainable and impactful project that will provide ongoing opportunities for community members to engage with printmaking and express themselves creatively.
Through a series of workshops and use of portable kits, the project aims to create a sense of creative empowerment and belonging, whilst building skills, and inspiring creativity in all who participate in this people-powered print project.
The Printmaking Kits
The project aims to develop and deliver a series of portable printmaking kits, each containing materials and instructions for a specific printmaking process. These kits will be designed for use in various community venues and settings, empowering individuals to explore different print techniques and create their own artwork.
Workshop Experience
In addition to the kits, the project is offering printmaking workshops that guide participants through the use of each kit and a general understanding of the printmaking process, providing hands-on instruction and support. These workshops will also create a space for participants to learn from each other, share their experiences, and enjoy building their new creative community.
