Community Print Event at Noosa Regional Gallery | Press Gang Printmakers

About the Press Gang. Community Print Event at Noosa Regional Gallery. December 11, 2016. It was rubbings and inking and stamping and more. It was exhausting and fun and messy and rewarding and even more exhausting. Our Press Gang community print event to finish off the year marking the Print Council of Australia’s 50th birthday ‘Year of Print’. Was a day to remember. Thank you to the wonderful band of helpers Dale, Di, Gabi, Bronwyn, Rita, Lorraine, Glenda, Giuliana and Judy. PCA Year of Print. Notify m...

About the Press Gang. August 18, 2016. The smile on Coralee’s face says it all. It worked! It’s not easy to print six plates at once, especially when the paper size is at the absolute limit of the press, but those who attended to concertina playday all had successes that sent them home happy. We were making eight panel concertina books, using a registration sheet and printing six pages of the book all at once. Some people had six plates and others mixed and matched to make collaborative books.

Editioning! | Press Gang Printmakers
https://pressgangblog.wordpress.com/2016/11/18/editioning
About the Press Gang. November 18, 2016. It’s what printmaking is all about, multiple copies from one matrix, but executing a perfect edition is one of the hardest things to master. Did you say 20? Gabi’s print is a mixture of techniques executed in her own style of printing two at once, so half of the edition is a mirror image of the other. Meanwhile Rachel is experimenting with her first dry point plates, with mixed success but a lot of determination. MOnoMoNO PRINT October 2016. Enter your comment here.

About the Press Gang. MOnoMoNO PRINT October 2016. October 19, 2016. Standing room only had us thinking about how we can find a bigger venue for our print get togethers, but monoprints were a great activity that allowed everyone a little creative space to experiment and make their own individual mess. Some great results and some learning curves. Rita used paper doilies for a negative print. Bronwyn got hooked on subtractive monotypes. Vicki went for multicolours – inking up a variety of objects.

Concertina Books – Continued | Press Gang Printmakers
https://pressgangblog.wordpress.com/2016/09/01/concertina-books-continued
About the Press Gang. Concertina Books – Continued. September 1, 2016. The image above will remind those who were at the workshop how to fold their concertina after the prints have dried. There’s also a diagram there of how to join concertinas if (like Lucy) you were the one who ended up with the bits and pieces. The board ends were made with heavy grey board (eg from the backs of sketch pads) and covered with momogami paper. We made the momogami by scrunching up paper with fibre reactive dyes. Press Gan...
