‘Prints Charming’ Printmaking Workshop for Kids ages 6-10
In this fairy tale-themed, collaborative workshop, participants will use color, texture, and pattern to conjure a world of fantasy. Watch as our small prints reveal an enchanted surprise once assembled. Participants will print with stamps, fingers, rollers, and corrugated paper. At the end, the pieces will be put together like a jigsaw puzzle and it will reveal a castle. This workshop will provide opportunities for youths to develop and deepen artistic skills in printmaking, expanding understanding of Escher’s technical process and opening the door to new artists. Materials included in cost of workshop.
Only ten spaces available in the workshop, so book early!
About the Artist
Based in New York, Matthias Kern was born in Celle, a small German city south of Hamburg. From a very early age he was exposed to various forms of art and attended all the art classes that were available in his hometown. Over the years, Matthias experimented with various artistic expressions including watercolor, acrylic and pastel, as well as printmaking. He enjoys working in the older printmaking techniques as well as more modern techniques of intaglio, encompassing dry point, aquatint, mezzotint, line etching, silk screen, monotype and woodcut.
His vision is to achieve with his art feelings that we all have experienced, and to allow his audience to personalize those emotions to mean something specific for them. Matthias Kern invites you to be transported back to that world where our imaginations ran free.
